Following behind its previous titles, WWE 2K23 will have several post-launch DLC packs that players can buy and earn new superstars. These characters may be late additions, but they can beef up the already-massive roster with iconic faces and renowned legends.

You could purchase the WWE 2K23 Deluxe and Icon Edition to automatically get the characters with the Season Pass included when available.

Every DLC pack has approximately four weeks between each other and falls on Wednesdays, except the NXT pack, which has five weeks between it and others. Publisher 2K Games hasn't budged on the timing since their announcement, but players should be wary of setbacks for their platform in case certain characters aren't ready for release.

Unfortunately, if you were hoping to get a superstar like Wade Barrett early, you must wait until August.

"A little irked that the two I'm looking forward to the most (Bray Wyatt and Wade Barrett) are 4-5 months out after initial release," said one Reddit user in response to the DLC roster reveal.

The time restriction has led some players to express their disappointment on the thread, alongside others who felt the list of superstars was "very underwhelming."

Ultimately, if you are interested in nabbing these characters when available, you can decide which of the bunch you want or buy the entire Season Pass when the time comes.

On March 17, WWE 2K23 will launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
