The V1.05 patch was a major, multi-gigabyte update released by 2K to address numerous bugs, stability issues, and performance bottlenecks reported by PC players upon the game’s release.

WWE 2K18 V1.05 is the patch that made the PC version of the game truly playable. By updating to this version and incorporating the CODEX DLC pack, players received a significantly more stable experience with an expanded roster, making it a highly sought-after package for wrestling game fans on PC.

This update version is often bundled with several major DLC packs that expanded the roster and move set: NXT Generation Pack

Features legendary superstars like The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff Hardy), Beth Phoenix, and The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express.
