Seit dem 17. Oktober 2017 steht die Wrestlingsimulation „WWE 2K18“ für die PlayStation 4, Xbox One und den PC im Handel zur Verfügung. Eine Nintendo Switch-Version soll ebenfalls in nächster Zeit erscheinen. Inzwischen haben die Verantwortlichen von 2K Sports, Visual Concepts und Yuke’s einen neuen Softwareflicken für das Spiel bereitgestellt.
Mit dem neuesten Update 1.03 beheben die Entwickler zahlreiche Spielfehler, wobei einige Probleme des „Road to Glory“-Modus behoben wurden. Schließlich konnte eine schlechte Verbindung zu einer Zurücksetzung der Qualifikation des MeinSPIELERS führen. Jedoch haben die Entwickler auch zahlreiche weitere Anpassungen vorgenommen. So hat man das allgemeine Gameplay, den „Universe“-Modus und weitere Aspekte des Spiels überarbeitet.
In den englischsprachigen Patchnotes kann man die kompletten Änderungen nachlesen.
