At a glance

WWE 2K17 is a professional wrestling game developed by Yuke’s and published by 2K, released in 2016. Its listed modes include MyCAREER and WWE Universe, alongside creation tools for custom Superstars, arenas and championships. The PC Standard Edition includes the Goldberg Pack, with two playable versions of Goldberg and the WCW Monday Nitro and Halloween Havoc arenas. The Steam listing includes single-player, multiplayer, co-op and shared or split-screen play, as well as full controller support, Remote Play Together and Family Sharing. The game is listed for Microsoft Windows. A key limitation is that its multiplayer servers shut down on June 30, 2022; functions that require those servers no longer work. That shutdown notice appears in the game’s description, so players considering its online features should distinguish them from the listed local and single-player options. Steam also lists achievements and Remote Play on TV.
