2K has posted their first Ringside Report featuring the new WarGames match type for WWE 2K23. While there are plenty of WWE 2K23 videos available the developers have taken the time to post some of the details that you might have missed.

The team introduces the WarGames match for the first time in a video game, allowing players to participate in 3v3 or 4v4 multiplayer matches.
