WWE 2K22 Update 1.09 Patch Notes for April 19 (Today)

WWE 2K22 has continued to face some bugs and glitches since launch, though some of the most egregious were remedied in the title's earliest updates.

However, WWE 2K22 Update 1.09 has now arrived with far more upgrades and changes than most players were expecting.

This update is currently showing as Update 1.09 on PS4, following the naming convention used considering the former Update 1.08 hotfix that dropped in late March, though it's listed as Version 1.009 on PS5.

Download size and details are still being determined for some platforms, but it's about 4.11 GB on PS5 and 7.18 GB on Xbox Series X|S, showing they've gotten a good amount in without a terribly bloated update size.
