WWE 2K25 on Nintendo Switch 2: Fans Express Disappointment Over Missing Image Uploader Feature

WWE 2K25 has officially made its debut on Nintendo Switch 2 this week, marking a significant milestone as one of the most anticipated wrestling game releases for Nintendo's latest hardware.

Developed by 2K Games, the newest installment brings the excitement of professional wrestling to a wider audience, featuring the signature gameplay, enhanced visuals, and community-driven features fans have come to expect.

However, the launch has also surfaced notable concerns among the game’s dedicated community, particularly in regard to content creation options on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform. A key feature renowned in WWE 2K titles is "community creations," allowing players to share custom wrestlers, arenas, and belts.

While the Nintendo Switch 2 version does support some level of community sharing, IGN has reported that this release notably omits image uploading capabilities.

This means that players cannot upload custom images—an integral part of the creation suite—nor view image-based creations from other platforms.

This limitation caught many wrestling fans off-guard, especially those looking forward to fully personalizing their WWE 2K25 experience. An official FAQ on the WWE 2K25 support site addresses these restrictions in greater detail.

According to the publisher, “Nintendo Switch 2 players will not see Image Uploader based Community Creations from any platform or be able to upload their own.” In effect, this excludes one of the major features associated with creative expression and cross-platform sharing, separating the Switch 2 user base from the wider community content ecosystem. Feedback from the player base and content creators has been swift.

Leading voices within the community, as well as outlets such as GoNintendo, have described the absence of image uploading as a significant letdown.

In their own coverage, GoNintendo characterized it as a “major disappointment” and has reached out to 2K Games and other contacts to seek clarity on the decision behind this restricted functionality. Despite this setback, initial impressions suggest that WWE 2K25 on Nintendo Switch 2 is a well-executed port, capturing the core gameplay that fans expect from the long-running franchise.

The title is available now via the Nintendo eShop, adding another high-profile sports simulation to Nintendo’s library.

The community continues to hope for further updates or clarifications from 2K Games regarding expanded feature parity with other platforms. As more players jump into WWE 2K25 on Nintendo Switch 2, industry watchers and fans alike will be watching closely to see if future patches address these concerns.

For now, the absence of custom image uploading remains the most prominent issue dampening the excitement around an otherwise solid release on Nintendo’s cutting-edge hardware.
