McMahon also mentioned how WWE 2K22 was a "commercial and critical success," boasting the franchise's highest-ever review scores on PlayStation and Xbox. "After taking a little more than a year off to improve the game engine, we worked hand-in-glove with our partners at Take Two Interactive, listened to our customers and fans, and earned back their trust by delivering a game that exceed their expectations," McMahon said.
