The two most common critiques of WWE 2K26 have to do with the purple stamina bar and the Ringside Pass, and both have been addressed in Patch 1.07. The patch will give all current and future players enough RXP to unlock 20 tiers in Ringside Pass season 1, and there will also be additional changes to the Ringside Pass for season 2 involving RXP and DLC characters. The Stamina Meter has also been adjusted to make it a more gradual build-up during matches, which should help keep superstars from getting too winded early in a match. That’s not all of the changes through, so let’s break everything down in greater detail below.
Everything Patch 1.07 Changes in WWE 2K26
There are some additional changes that will not only affect the current Ringside Pass season, but also season 2 and beyond. In addition to getting enough RXP to unlock 20 levels in season 1, those who have played the game prior to April 14th, 2026, at 11: 59 PM PDT will also receive enough RXP to unlock 20 tiers in season 2 when it launches.
In addition, the required RXP per tier will be reduced from 800 to 625 for season 2 and beyond, and the values of consumable RXP Boosts will also be increased. Season 2 will also bring a permanent change for DLC characters, as DLC characters in future Ringside Pass Premium Seasons will be available in Tier 1 and will automatically be available to unlock in the Ringside Pass menu for Premium Pass players when those respective seasons launch. That means you’ll be able to get all of the new characters in each season either right off the bat or quickly after they launch.
Regarding the Stamina Meter changes, not only will the Stamina costs now increase gradually, but reversals will also cost less stamina when you are fighting more than one opponent, which should be a relief for anyone trying to complete a Triple Threat or Fatal 4-Way challenge.
There will also be an increased damage threshold to avoid quick DQs when accidentally attacking a referee, and the patch is also adding several new moves, including Chelsea Green’s Cradle Flatliner and Blake Monroe’s Glamour Shot finishing move. The Island will also have a limited 2x VC event for PvP matches and the ability to Prestige directly from the Training menu.
2K26’s newest update also brought with it some additional looks for several big-time superstars. You can now unlock John Cena ’03, John Cena ’20 (nWo), Liv Morgan ’24, Kofi Kingston ’17, and Undertaker ’20, R-Truth Ron Cena, Kelani Jordan ’23, Randy Orton ’09, Trish Stratus ’03, and three new looks for CM Punk. Those include his Survivir Series: WarGames gear, his Raw 2026 gear, and the AJ Lee’s Husband look. For the full patch notes and updates for every mode, you can check out the full rundown below.
