The WWE 2K23 Performance Center can finally be unlocked in this year’s installment for exhibition and online matches. This arena has been available in past WWE games, but wasn’t selectable last year (apart from downloading it as a WWE creation by the community). Fortunately, while the Performance Center arena is easy to miss as an unlockable, it’s not difficult to obtain in WWE 2K23.
How to unlock Performance Center in WWE 2K23
You need to complete the tutorial for WWE 2K23 to unlock the Performance Center arena in the game.
This is very easy to skip over, especially for veteran players of WWE 2K22, since the gameplay system for WWE 2K23 is very close to its predecessor. So going through the tutorial might seem like a hassle and largely unnecessary. I must admit that I passed over the tutorial too at the start of the game.
Luckily, if you’re like me and completely ignored the tutorial, you can head to the options tab and play the tutorial there to unlock the Performance Center. This arena is specific to exhibition and online modes, so this will be a disappointment to people who largely play Universe mode. If you’re one of these people, we recommend pinging WWE 2K on social media to push them in bringing the Performance Center over to Universe mode, as it seems like an easy change for Visual Concepts to make. It just won’t have entrances or much of a crowd.
