WWE 2K23 is available at Mascom International for KSh 4,350 as a PS4 physical disc, brand new and sealed in its retail case. Published by 2K and developed by Visual Concepts, WWE 2K23 launched in March 2023 with John Cena on the cover to mark his 20 years as a WWE Superstar. The disc carries the John Cena Showcase, the WarGames match type, MyRISE, MyGM, Universe and Play Now. You can pick up WWE 2K23 at our store on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Room 4, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Built for PS4 owners across Kenya who mostly play alone or with friends on the same sofa, WWE 2K23 suits students in hostels near Kenyatta University and JKUAT, families sharing one console, and fans who like booking their own shows. Here is the honest part: 2K retired the online features for this game on 6 January 2025, so online matches and server-based content no longer work. What remains runs straight from the disc. Showcase, MyRISE, MyGM, Universe and Play Now all work offline, so no Safaricom or Airtel bundle is needed and a weak home connection never stops a match.
Where most Nairobi gaming stalls sell opened or pre-owned copies without a receipt, Mascom International sells WWE 2K23 sealed, receipted and covered by a 6-month disc warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a wrestling game that keeps working with no internet at all, and this disc fits that need at KSh 600 below WWE 2K24. For a household that already owns a PS4 and two controllers, WWE 2K23 is a low-cost way to add months of local matches. Walk into Kimathi Street to collect a copy today, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives, anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the WWE 2K23
How much is WWE 2K23 for PS4 in Kenya?
WWE 2K23 for PS4 costs KSh 4,350 at Mascom International in Nairobi, sealed and unopened. That price covers the physical disc in its retail case, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. It sits KSh 600 below WWE 2K24, which we sell at KSh 4,950, and KSh 2,650 below WWE 2K25 at KSh 7,000. Pay by cash or M-Pesa at our Kimathi Street store, or when the parcel reaches you.
Can you still play WWE 2K23 online?
No, WWE 2K23 online play ended when 2K retired the game's online features and services on 6 January 2025. Online matches, online MyFaction content and other server-based features stopped working on that date, and a PlayStation Plus subscription cannot bring them back. 2K's support page lists Play Now, Showcase, MyRISE, MyGM and Universe as the modes that still run offline. If matches against other players over the internet matter to you, WWE 2K25 is the WWE title we stock whose PlayStation servers 2K plans to keep running until 31 March 2027.
What is the John Cena Showcase in WWE 2K23?
The WWE 2K23 Showcase puts you in matches against some of John Cena's toughest rivals, with the goal of beating Cena rather than playing as him. Cena narrates it in a documentary style that walks through his 20-year WWE career. Because it runs fully offline, the server shutdown did not touch it. For a single player, it gives a clear goal across a chain of story matches, and it is the part of WWE 2K23 that sets it apart from the later games in the series.
How do MyGM and MyRISE work in WWE 2K23?
MyGM in WWE 2K23 lets you run a brand as general manager, building weekly shows and match cards to beat rival GMs across multiple seasons. 2K added more GMs, custom GM creation, more show options and more match types for up to four players. MyRISE offers separate men's and women's career stories, and you can import a custom Superstar into it. Both modes run offline, so a student in a Kilimani bedsitter can play a full MyGM season without spending any data.
Does the WWE 2K23 PS4 disc play on a PS5?
Yes, the WWE 2K23 PS4 disc runs on any PS5 that has a disc drive, through Sony's backward compatibility. That includes the standard PS5 and the disc version of the PS5 Slim, plus a PS5 Slim Digital Edition or PS5 Pro once Sony's add-on Disc Drive is attached. A Digital Edition with no drive cannot read it. On PS5 it plays as the PS4 version, and your DualShock 4 controller works for PS4 games on that console.
WWE 2K23 or WWE 2K24: which should you buy?
WWE 2K24 costs KSh 600 more and adds the 40 Years of WrestleMania Showcase plus Special Guest Referee, Ambulance, Casket and Gauntlet matches, while WWE 2K23 brings the John Cena Showcase and the WarGames debut. Both titles have now passed their online end dates, so the choice comes down to offline content. Pick WWE 2K23 if you want Cena's story at the lower price. Choose WWE 2K24 if a broader sweep of WrestleMania history and the extra match types justify the gap.
Is WWE 2K23 a good pick if your internet or power is unreliable in Kenya?
WWE 2K23 suits Kenyan homes with patchy internet, because every mode that still works runs from the disc with no connection. You will not spend Safaricom or Airtel bundles on matches, and Sony's lack of a Kenyan PlayStation Network region does not matter for an offline disc. Power is the bigger risk: a KPLC cut can interrupt a save in progress. A small UPS for the console is worth considering, and Mascom International also sells UPS units at the Kimathi Street store.
Who should buy WWE 2K23 and who should skip it?
Buy WWE 2K23 if you play wrestling games alone or with friends on one console, enjoy booking shows in Universe or MyGM, and want a smaller outlay. It also makes a sensible gift for a teenager who already owns a PS4. Skip it if online play or MyFaction is your main reason to buy, because those features ended with the January 2025 server shutdown. That buyer is better served by WWE 2K25 for PS4 at KSh 7,000, whose online services 2K plans to keep running on PlayStation into 2027.
Technical Specifications

Match Types and Roster
- WarGames — debuted in this game, with three-on-three or four-on-four action in two rings inside a double steel cage.
- Roster names include John Cena, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar and Steve Austin, among many others.
- Bad Bunny came as a bonus pack with the Deluxe and Icon Editions, so a standard copy does not carry him.
- Developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K, the same pairing behind each yearly WWE release.
- Standard edition released on 17 March 2023, two yearly releases before WWE 2K25 reached shelves.
Online Services Status
- 2K retired WWE 2K23 online features and services on 6 January 2025, according to its official support page.
- Online matches and online MyFaction content no longer connect, whatever PlayStation Plus status your account holds.
- Offline modes listed by 2K as still working: Play Now, Showcase, MyRISE, MyGM and Universe.
- Local matches with friends on one console stay available, because they never relied on 2K's servers.

Console Compatibility
- Plays on every PS4 model — original, Slim and Pro — straight from the disc, with nothing extra to buy.
- Runs on a PS5 with a built-in disc drive through backward compatibility, as the PS4 version of the game.
- A PS5 Slim Digital Edition or PS5 Pro reads it only with Sony's add-on Disc Drive attached.
- The original PS5 Digital Edition has no drive option, so it cannot read physical discs at all.
- Not playable on Xbox, Nintendo Switch or PC; each platform needs its own version of the game.
Build: Disc and Case
- Blu-ray game disc — PS4 games ship on Blu-ray, so it plays only on a PlayStation, not a DVD player.
- Factory shrink-wrap intact on arrival, which shows the copy has not been opened, played or swapped.
- Hard plastic retail case that protects the disc from Nairobi dust and scratches between sessions.
- PS4 games are not region-locked, so this copy works on a console bought in Kenya or abroad.
- A physical copy can be resold or lent to a friend in Eldoret, which a digital PSN licence does not allow.
Inclusions
- One WWE 2K23 PS4 game disc in its retail case with the original cover art.
- John Cena on the cover, marking his 20th anniversary as a WWE Superstar.
- Full base game on the disc, so the offline modes start without buying anything else.

- A 6-month Mascom International warranty against disc manufacturing defects, detailed below.
Package Contents
Your WWE 2K23 order arrives as one sealed PS4 retail package: the game disc inside its plastic case, with printed cover art showing John Cena. There is no console, controller or bonus code in the box, and no Deluxe or Icon Edition content. If your setup needs them, extra DualShock 4 controllers for couch matches and HDMI cables are sold separately at Mascom International, so you can complete a local multiplayer setup in one visit.

Mascom International backs the WWE 2K23 disc with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, such as a sealed disc that will not read on a working console. Claims are handled in person at our Nairobi CBD service desk at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street.
