WWE 2K20has struggled, to say the least, since its launch in late October. And while Visual Concepts has worked hard on updating the game, patches haven’t been as routine asWWE 2K20may have liked. When patches do arrive, however, they are substantial and often game-changing. This past week’s 1.06 patch is hopefully another example of Visual Concepts' continued dedication to improving the game. Dozens of issues have been addressed in 1.06, plus the much-anticipated Create A Championship feature has been added.
Create A Championshipis by far the most requested feature forWWE 2K20post-launch. Players are able to create a unique championship, including its belt, and then customize the roster of wrestlers for which the championship is earnable. That includes any character on the roster, men or women, as well as custom characters. Surprisingly, there are relatively few reviews of the new mode yet, perhaps indicating that even WWE fans may not be coming back to 2K20 even with Create A Championship.

Even though Create A Championship may be the focus of 1.06, it’s the fixes that are likely to prove the most valuable to players.Visual Conceptshas corrected a number of crashing issues forWWE 2K20, all of which were likely to have players putting their game away if a crash happened mid-match. Fixes include crashes due to running out of memory, resuming the game from a suspended state, singing out of your platform account, just starting the game and seeing the “Legal Screen,” or entering Showcase, Towers, or Originals modes. That’s likely not even the entire list of ongoing crashing issues, but it’s a great start and sure to make for a better game.
Dozens of other changes have been made toWWE 2K20with patch 1.06, too. Gameplay-affecting changes aren’t many, but could be substantial. TheWWE 2K20patchclaims to have made “various improvements” toWWE 2K20’s AI behavior, for example. Additional improvements were made to animations, collisions, and much more. Issues withWWE 2K20’s online mode were also addressed, including cases of infinite loading screens or network error messages.
While it’s great to see Visual Concepts, even the addition of Create A Championship isn’t likely to pull back players who have been frustrated withWWE 2K20so far. But for players who have stuck throughWWE 2K20’s controversies, the game should be better than ever now. Patch 1.06 is downloadable now and available across all ofWWE 2K20’s supported platforms.
WWE 2K20is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
