Luckily, at CES 2025, Acer just unveiled the…
Less than two years after its release, WWE 2K23 has been chokeslammed into oblivion: The game’s servers have been closed, meaning all online functionality, including online matches and Community Creations, will no longer work. 2K Games telegraphed the move back in September 2024, announcing that WWE 2K23 “is getting its final takedown” on January 26….
