WWE 2K22 has been thriving since launch with plenty of players enjoying the experience, but unfortunately it's also faced some significant bugs connected to logo use and several other areas of the title.
After some speculation about when the WWE 2K22 Update 1.06 might arrive and reassurance from developers, we've finally got confirmation of when this updated version is set to deploy.
According to the WWE Games account, this one was set to deploy on March 22, 2022), and we can confirm it has now gone live on all platforms.
