WWE 2K24 launched last week, but in the game’s community creations hub, some players are already up to their old tricks. The new Create-A-Sign feature allows users to create and share custom signs for audience NPCs to hold during matches. Instead of having signs with the usual WWE banter on them, some players are uploading sexually explicit images.
It’s worth noting that there is a system that allows players to flag content as inappropriate, but despite that, many of them have made their way to the top of the Most Downloaded and Most Upvoted pages. Some images are featured prominently despite even being days old, making it unclear whether the flagging system is unreliable or if players just aren’t flagging them in the first place.
WWE 2K is rated T by the ESRB, but wrestling games are often played by younger kids, and in any event, the sexually explicit content exceeds even an M rating. Having adult content in the WWE games isn’t new. In the past, some players used the game’s Create-A-Logo feature to upload sexually explicit images that would make their way to the top of the Most Downloaded and Most Upvoted pages, according to Reddit threads that are sometimes months or even years old.
