WWE 2K26 Season 6 arrived on October 28, 2026, bringing four new wrestlers, three free Persona rewards and two Premium Personas. Royce Keys, Earthquake, Typhoon and Octagón Jr. are available from Premium Tier 1, while AJ Styles Masked and Bray Wyatt ’23 are rewards for players who progress further through the paid track.
Patch 1.20 and the separately sold Street Fighter Elite Pack arrived on the same day. The important part for anyone opening the new pass is knowing which unlocks are free, which need Premium and how long it takes to earn them.
WWE 2K26 Season 6 release date and rewards
Season 6 launched on Wednesday, October 28, and is the sixth and final Ringside Pass in the announced WWE 2K26 roadmap. The pass has 40 free tiers and 40 Premium tiers, with character unlocks, alternative looks, moves, creation parts, Island VC, MyFACTION items and RXP boosts.
Buy Premium and you can claim the four Tier 1 wrestlers straight away. AJ Styles Masked and Bray Wyatt ’23 are different: you need to play until you reach their tiers. If you’re only interested in the free Personas, WWE 2K26 Season 6 has a full 40-tier free track for game owners.
All four new wrestlers and how to unlock them
Every new playable Superstar in WWE 2K26 Season 6 is a Premium Tier 1 reward. After gaining access to Season 6 Premium, open the Ringside Pass, select Season 6 and claim the Tier 1 content. The four wrestlers are:
- Royce Keys: The leader of The 946 and a new addition to the WWE 2K roster.
- Earthquake: The Hall of Fame powerhouse who teamed with Typhoon.
- Typhoon: Earthquake’s tag-team partner in the Natural Disasters.
- Octagón Jr.: The AAA wrestler and former Latin American and World Trios champion.
That’s four playable wrestlers at the very start of the paid pass, not four characters spread across its 40 levels. Together they add 43 moves and taunts and six Create-A-Superstar pieces. Patch 1.20 also supplies their entrances, including an entrance for Earthquake and Typhoon as the Natural Disasters.
Free Persona rewards and their exact tiers
The WWE 2K26 Season 6 free track is open to everyone who owns the base game. Its three historical Persona appearances unlock through ordinary Ringside Pass progress:
| Free tier | Persona |
|---|---|
| 7 | AJ Styles Retro |
| 26 | Rhea Ripley ’20 |
| 40 | Eddie Guerrero ’05 |
All three Personas are earned through the free track. Select Season 6, complete eligible matches while connected and claim each reward at its listed tier. You can collect AJ Styles Retro relatively early; Eddie Guerrero ’05 requires reaching the final free tier.
WWE 2K26 Season 6 Premium Persona tiers
Two other Personas sit further along the paid track. AJ Styles Masked is Premium Tier 33, based on his appearance in Osaka, Japan. Bray Wyatt ’23 is Premium Tier 40, featuring his neon-painted skull mask from the 2023 Royal Rumble.
Neither Persona is an instant Tier 1 unlock. WWE 2K26 Season 6 Premium owners still have to earn enough RXP to reach Tier 33 or Tier 40. Those late rewards are separate from the four wrestlers available when Premium ownership starts.
Other moves, outfits and rewards
The paid track also includes the moves Hellbound, Butterfly Destroyer and Kata-Ha-Jime variations, as well as Create-A-Superstar parts, clothing, MyFACTION items, Island VC and RXP boosts.
The free track also awards MyFACTION and currency rewards along the way. A Ringside Pass has about 60 rewards on its free track and approximately 120 across both tracks, as some tiers award bundles. These are reward items, not extra pass levels. Each track still has 40 tiers.
How to earn Season 6 RXP
RXP comes from eligible matches in Play Now, Universe, MyRISE, Showcase, MyGM, MyFACTION and The Island, provided you’re connected online. Both tracks progress side by side at the same tier. Premium ownership determines whether you can claim the paid rewards that you’ve reached.
Before working towards WWE 2K26 Season 6 rewards, select Season 6 in the pass menu and finish your matches. 2K excludes online lobbies, matches with two or more local human players, matches played with platform friends, entirely simulated matches outside Universe Watch Mode, and matches abandoned through quitting or disconnection.
Does WWE 2K26 Season 6 expire?
No. 2K allows players to leave a previous Ringside Pass unfinished, switch to another season and return later. The arrival of a newer pass does not erase older progress or prevent you earning the remaining rewards. Season 6 has no special October 31 finish requirement.
You can finish something from Season 5, then return to WWE 2K26 Season 6 for the two late Premium Personas. Changing passes doesn’t wipe the tiers you’ve already earned.
Patch 1.20 and the Street Fighter Elite Pack
Patch 1.20 adds entrance animations for the new wrestlers, performance improvements, a Universe animation-camera fix and holiday-themed shop additions on The Island. It also includes new entrance sequences for five Street Fighter crossover variants.
The Street Fighter Elite Pack is sold separately and is not included with WWE 2K26 Season 6 Premium or existing premium game editions. It contains The Rock as M. Bison, Rey Mysterio as Ryu, Bianca Belair as Cammy, Ultimate Warrior as Blanka and Dominik Mysterio as Ken. Our WWE 2K26 Street Fighter DLC guide explains that separate add-on.
For most players, the choice comes down to the four new wrestlers. If you want to play as Royce Keys, Earthquake, Typhoon or Octagón Jr., you need Season 6 Premium. If you’re here for AJ Styles Retro, Rhea Ripley ’20 or Eddie Guerrero ’05, the free track already has them.
