What’s wrong with the patch?
While the patch notes sound quite promising, there seems to be a major problem. Several WWE 2K20 playes have said on Twitter that upon downloading the patch, a screen pops up indicating that the saved game data has been corrupted. As of right now, the issue seems to be limited to just PC users. However, some PS4 users have also said that an error screen pops up after attempting to download the patch.
