Okay, so I’ve been messing around with WWE 2K23, trying to spice things up a bit, you know? I mean, the game’s pretty solid, but who doesn’t like to tweak things, right? So, I decided to dive into the world of modding, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride.
First off, I had to figure out where to even start. I’m no tech wizard, but I can follow instructions. I spent a good chunk of time just searching for stuff like “WWE 2K23 mods” and “how to unlock hidden characters in WWE 2K23”. It felt like I was going in circles for a while, there’s a lot of noise out there. I found some stuff but most of it was for older versions of the game, or just plain didn’t work.

Then I stumbled upon some communities talking about specific mods. People were sharing their creations, which got me pretty excited. I saw some folks talking about a mod that unlocks all the MyRise stuff, like that Ezekiel character and some arenas. That sounded perfect, exactly what I was looking for!
So, I dug deeper into these mods. Some of them were all about reshades, making the game look even more realistic. I tried one that was supposed to be “photorealistic”, and honestly, it did look pretty damn good! But the gameplay changes were what I was really after.
Then there was this one modder, a real hero in my book, who figured out how to unlock and upload hidden characters and models. This was the goldmine! I was super pumped. But figuring out how to use the mods, that was a whole other challenge. I had to carefully read the instructions, and I’ll admit, I messed up a few times and had to start over. It was frustrating, but I was determined to get it working.
The process usually involved downloading these mod files and then putting them in the right place in the game folders. It sounds simple, but one wrong move and the whole thing could break. I learned that the hard way, believe me! It involved a lot of trial and error, deleting files, and reinstalling the game a couple of times.
But eventually, I got it! I finally got those hidden characters unlocked, and let me tell you, it was worth the effort. Playing with characters that weren’t normally available felt awesome. It was like discovering a whole new part of the game I didn’t even know existed.

Here’s the thing, though:
- It takes patience. Modding isn’t always a smooth process, especially with games like WWE 2K23.
- Read everything carefully. The instructions are there for a reason, trust me.
- Be prepared to troubleshoot. Things will go wrong, it’s just part of the process.
All in all, it was a fun experience. I learned a lot about modding, and I got to enjoy WWE 2K23 in a whole new way. If you’re thinking about trying it, go for it! Just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve, and remember to have fun with it!
