Music icon and all-round pop culture fan Post Malone has created the soundtrack to the upcoming WWE 2K24 title, and fans will be able to hit the ropes with him.
The game’s developer has announced that the music icon will feature in one of the five DLC packs being released across 2024, with the first dropping in May and the last to feature in November of this year. The main game will be hitting online and physical stores on March 5.
