Being able to play as your favorite wrestler in a virtual world is something that pro wrestling fans love. Creating those dream matches with stars who could never face each other keeps the wrestling fire burning. The WWE 2k games have done a great job of keeping this fire going. However, a new player, AEW’s Fight Forever, has entered the chat. With WWE 2K24 rumors making the rounds on the internet, let’s look at the stats of both games.

WWE games are among the best and most played wrestling games by WWE fans and non-fans alike. However, will AEW’s game be able to dethrone it?

WWE 2K23 was released on March 14, 2023. Developed by Visual Concepts and published by the studio 2k. The game was released on all platforms, did very well commercially, and was praised by critics. It was also the first game to feature the WarGames match.

AEW Fight Forever was released on June 29, 2023. It is the first game based on the AEW wrestling promotion. While the developers released it on every platform, it did not do as well as WWE 2K23. Many critics and fans criticized the lack of modes and presentation as its downfall. But what about the stats?
