WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Season 5 adds Danhausen, Bam Bam Bigelow, Brie Bella and Pagano

The fifth season of WWE 2K26's Ringside Pass is now available, adding four new superstars plus new Persona outfits, moves and a chapter of The Island mode. The Premium route of Season 5 adds Danhausen, Bam Bam Bigelow, Brie Bella and AAA wrestler Pagano to the roster, along with a combined 35 new moves and taunts for the creation suite.

Following player feedback, all four superstars unlock immediately as the Tier 1 reward for players on the Premium route, rather than being gated behind later tiers. The Premium route also includes two new Persona outfits: Bianca Belair's WrestleMania 41 appearance and Randy Orton's 2005 look with his Burn in My Light theme song.

The Free tier of Season 5 adds three Persona outfits of its own: Alexa Bliss 2025, Drew McIntyre 2010 and Triple H 1999. The update also brings Chapter 3 to The Island mode, adding new quests, cutscenes and rewards featuring Stephanie McMahon.

The season continues a pattern of WWE 2K26's post-launch content leaning heavily on AAA talent and returning legends. Season 1 added AAA wrestlers Mr Iguana, Psycho Clown, El Hijo Del Vikingo and Flammer. Season 2 brought in Demolition (Ax, Crush and Smash) and Kelly Kelly, while Season 3 added Matt Cardona, Brian Pillman, La Parka and Torrie Wilson, plus NBA star Tyrese Haliburton on the free tier. Season 4 added Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, musician Jelly Roll and AAA wrestler Lady Shani.

Only one Ringside Pass season remains for the game. Season 6 is scheduled for October and will add Earthquake, Typhoon, Royce Keys and Octagon Jr. Developer Visual Concepts and publisher 2K Sports have not detailed what, if anything, follows the final season.

VGC's review of WWE 2K26 said the game "keeps its place at the Head of the Table but still isn't Mr Perfect." The game was made free to play for all Xbox users over a weekend to coincide with SummerSlam last month.
