Honestly, if you've been playing WWE 2K25 since it dropped back in March, you know the drill. It’s that familiar cycle: the game launches, we all find the glitches that make the wrestlers look like they’re made of jelly, and then we wait for the first "big" patch to actually make things playable. Well, WWE 2K25 update 1.07 finally landed on April 9, 2025, and it’s a weird one.
Some people are calling it a "game-saver" because of the new content. Others? They’re currently staring at their screens wondering why Universe Mode feels like it’s held together by duct tape and prayers.

The stuff you actually care about (New Content)
Let’s get the shiny new toys out of the way first. Most "stability" patches are just boring lines of code, but 1.07 actually threw us a bone.
They finally added the updated NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship belts. If you're a stickler for the CW-era branding, this was a long time coming. They didn't just swap the textures, either—the models look crisp, and they even fixed the weird lighting issues that made the gold look like yellow plastic in certain arenas.
Speaking of arenas, the Saturday Night's Main Event arena is officially in the game now. It’s a vibe. You can use it in Universe Mode or just for a quick exhibition match when you're feeling nostalgic for that old-school neon aesthetic.
Why MyGM players are finally winning
If you’re a MyGM nerd like I am, this patch was basically a holiday. For the longest time, the women’s division in MyGM felt like an afterthought because you didn't have midcard titles.
Well, 2K listened. Sorta.
Update 1.07 introduced Women’s midcard championships for RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. This changes the strategy completely. You’re not just booking one title match and three filler rivalries anymore.
- Balancing: Because there are more titles, 2K reduced the "Popularity" bonuses for those brands to keep it fair.
- Power Cards: The NXT brand now gets two copies of their power card per season.
- WrestleMania Rule: There’s a new requirement now—you must book two midcard matches during Week 25 (WrestleMania week) across all difficulty levels. No more skipping the "boring" matches to stack the main event.
The "Camera Problem" and the Royal Rumble
Ever been playing a Royal Rumble, got eliminated, and then the camera just... stayed on your empty corner while the AI finished the match?
It was annoying.
The WWE 2K25 update 1.07 patch notes specifically mention a fix for this. The camera is now supposed to focus on the AI winner instead of ghosting. They also tweaked the camera tracking for brawls in the "WWE Archives" and the "NXT Parking Lot." If you've ever had a Superstar just disappear into the void at the end of a backstage brawl, this patch supposedly put a stop to that.
The bad news: What broke?
Look, I’m gonna be real with you. 2K patches are notorious for "fixing" one thing and breaking three others.
Since the 1.07 rollout, the community (shoutout to the folks over on the WWEGames subreddit) has noticed some wonky stuff. Some players are reporting that Universe Mode is acting up. Specifically, title matches aren't always registering correctly, and there's a weird bug where win/loss tracking is getting reset for certain Superstars.

Also, if you're on PS4 or Xbox One, the "image gap" issue in Create-an-Arena is still a bit of a coin flip. They said they fixed it, but users are still seeing logos move or disappear during high-intensity matches.
A few "hidden" tweaks you might have missed
Beyond the big headlines, there are dozens of tiny changes that actually impact how the game feels.
- Manager Logic: You can now select managers like CM Punk in custom draft games even if they aren't on the active roster, provided you haven't deleted too many people from the game.
- The "5-Minute" Promo: In MyRISE or Universe, if you get a prompt to "Win a Match in 5 Minutes," there’s actually a visible timer on the screen now. Revolutionary, right?
- Bloodline Rules: They did some under-the-hood tuning for the Bloodline Rules matches. It feels a bit more chaotic and less "scripted" than it did at launch.
- Bruising: There was a bug where body bruising wouldn't show up on alternate attires. That’s been squashed. Now your custom-color Roman Reigns will actually look like he’s been in a fight.
The verdict on Update 1.07
Is it worth the massive download? Yeah, probably.
If you live for the creation suite, the fixes to the manual camera in Create-a-Superstar (CAS) and Create-an-Arena (CAA) are worth the price of admission alone. Being able to actually see where you're placing a logo without the camera clipping through the floor is a luxury we shouldn't have had to wait a month for, but here we are.

Just a heads-up: if you have a heavily modded game or a lot of custom content, back up your saves before you let the update run. 2K updates have a nasty habit of "cleaning" files they think are corrupted.
What to do next
If your game hasn't updated automatically, go to your console's "Manage Game" settings and force the check. Once you're in, the first thing you should do is head to the MyGM menus to see those new women's titles—they really do change how you draft your roster for a new season.
Also, check your Universe Mode calendar. The Saturday Night's Main Event arena should be available as a PLE template now. If it's not showing up, you might need to restart the game once to let the "New Content" flags trigger.
The road to the next DLC is usually paved with these mid-month patches, so expect 1.08 to follow once 2K figures out why the 1.07 update made the referee's hair turn neon green for three people in Ohio.
