Everything You Can Unlock During Season Five Of Ringside Pass
Ringside Pass is a new feature in WWE 2K26 that effectively replaces the traditional DLC packs that would launch throughout the year after each game had been released. The pass is split into seasons that drop when those packs would typically become available, adding new playable Superstars to the roster when they do.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. The Ringside Pass is effectively WWE 2K’s take on the video game battle pass system. Each season, 80 new tiers become available to unlock – 40 for all players and 40 for those who have paid for the premium track. Each tier has something to unlock, and you have to play to work through them. Season five of Ringside Pass is now live, and you can find everything waiting to be unlocked below.
Season Five’s DLC Superstars
Each new season of WWE 2K26’s Ringside Pass brings with it four new playable Superstars. Season five’s batch includes perhaps the most eclectic mix we have seen so far. The most popular pick of the new quartet will be Danhausen. Not only because he’s a fan favorite, but this marks the first time Danhausen has been a part of a WWE video game since he is still a relatively new signing.
Every new season pass also introduces a AAA star. This season, that star is Pagano, who naturally also makes his WWE video game debut. The other two have appeared in WWE games before, but it’s been a while. Brie Bella returns to the series for the first time since WWE 2K23, and this will be the first time Bam Bam Bigelow has been officially playable for seven years.
There was some backlash regarding how much work it took to unlock the DLC stars when Ringside Pass was introduced. Players were required to grind to level 20 of the pass’s premium track to get them all. That is no longer the case. You still need the premium pass, but all four new additions will unlock immediately at level one once you have it.
How To Get The Premium Pass
2K
40 tiers of the latest Ringside Pass will be available to you right now, regardless of what you have bought or which edition of WWE 2K26 you own. If you want access to the 40 tiers on the premium track, however, including the four new DLC stars, you will either have to pay extra or hope you bought an edition that includes the latest Ringside Pass.
If you have the Monday Night War edition of WWE 2K26, then you should already have access to Ringside Pass season five’s premium track. Any other edition, including the Attitude Era, King of Kings, and standard versions of the game, and that’s not the case. You will have to pay for the premium track separately to start unlocking what it has to offer. It costs $9.99, and the good news is it won’t expire when the next season begins.
That means you can still go back, buy, and work through the premium tracks from the first four seasons too if you missed them.
Whether you plan on picking up the premium track or just grabbing everything on the basic side of the latest pass, you can find everything waiting to be unlocked across all 80 tiers below.
