What is the WWE 2K20 Originals Pre-Order Bug?
If you pre-ordered 2K’s latest wrestling game, you’ll have been rewarded with a code that allows you to download content relating to the Originals.

This reads “Your content becomes active at” and is followed by an unexplained date. You don’t need us to tell you that not getting a specific date for this content, or being able to download it on launch day, is a problem.

Thankfully, we have a definitive date lined up for this first Originals pack. 2K Games has revealed that the date, which should show up as part of this message, is October 28. The whole message should read: “Your code becomes active on 10/28/2019 at 16:00 UTC. Hope to see you back here!”
That’s a bit frustrating as it’s still five days away. Even so, this isn’t a massive bug after all and your content will be with you shortly without you having to fix it yourself.
