Online Multiplayer effectively is broken
WWE 2K25 runs very well on Linux machines and the Steam Deck. The biggest issue for me and my friend was Online Multiplayer effectively does not work. As far as I can tell you will get booted from lobbies as soon as a match starts every single time. I believe it's possible to play a match with only Steam Deck/Linux users. But this is so unlikely without purposely doing so. Once the servers shut down it won't even matter, but it's disappointing.
TLDR; Single Player experience is all there and you shouldn't have to worry. Multiplayer Online lobbies (and prob MyRise) do not work. So if you wanted to play online pass this up.
Games runs and looks great. Not tinkering needed at all.
Game crashed once in an 8+ hour session. This happens on Windows also. It's a fault with the game and not the OS.
Some small text is a bit difficult to read.
Some small profile icons look distorted.
Very minor issues, would recommend.
runs great average 60FPS played myFactions no issues. i played 14hrs mostly on steamdeck and no trouble
Made a few tweaks in the graphics options for preferences sake (Turning off Shadows, etc), but game runs quite well out of the box. No significant slowdown in larger matches (such as 4v4 tag), and no crashes or issues that don't also occur on Consoles/other PC hardware.
I ran the benchmark, and played a 2v2 tagteam match so far. The benchmark presented the following:Ave= 54.1FPS, Min= 28.4, Max=60.1. Tag=60
Names were small, especially when picking wrestlers but not unreadable.
The game ran perfectly out of the box with no edits to any settings either in the game or on the deck, besides disabling V-sync at launch when it asked me. I was able to beat the Usos as Damage Control at 60 fps with no errors. Enterences loaded fine and I didn't notice any hiccups. Significantly better than last years installment.
