WWE 2K23 update 1.03 patch notes and download size

After deploying the hotfix earlier this evening, 2K has already released the official WWE 2K23 update 1.03 patch notes via the verified WWE 2K Discord. While it’s good to know there are some more refinements being made ahead of the worldwide launch, the patch notes revealed that not much was changed this time around.
Here are the official WWE 2K23 update 1.03 patch notes from 2K:
- Polish and stability fixes for launch day
- Improvements to CAS part compatibility
- Improvements made to Superstars interacting with objects lying on the ground
Interacting with objects in matches, especially in the more chaotic ones like WarGames, can get especially messy with objects sometimes moving around wildly when trying to pick them up. Hopefully, this update will work towards cleaning that up a bit.
Now that it’s fully deployed, we know exactly how much space WWE 2K23 update 1.03 will take up on consoles. If you’re on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S, the file size sits at around 1.39 GB. The download is just a hair smaller at 1.3 GB on PS5.
Meanwhile, players are reporting the download is as much as 5.2 GB on PC. The largest file size appears to be PS4, as some players are reporting the download was a comparatively massive 16.6 GB to install.
Bugs that WWE 2K23 update 1.03 didn’t fix

After WWE 2K23 update 1.03 deployed, a post about it by SmackDown Hotel on Twitter has already been flooded with replies from players identifying what was and wasn’t fixed in this hotfix. Fortunately, one user did report that tag team matches previously not being playable in Universe Mode has now been fixed.
Here are just a few of the bugs that players have reported still need to be addressed:
- Cody Rhodes alternate attire issue
- Create An Arena bug with turnbuckle pad and ring apron
- Custom entrances still having issues
- Bloodline entrance now broken in Universe Mode
- Double title entrances still having issues
- Crowd reactions for tag matches now broken
In addition to player reports on Twitter, the WWE 2K23 Bug Megathread has gone live on Reddit now where players have begun mentioning known bugs including some of the ones mentioned above.
