Pat McAfee and pals arrive as the latest DLC pack for WWE 2K24

Fans of Pat McAfee have a whole pack of downloadable-content all to themselves today, with WWE 2K24’s latest DLC.

Finally, the day has arrived

Of course, we’re being facetious with that sub-heading, since the Pat McAfee Show Pack* for 2K’s WWE 2K24 wasn’t the greatest in terms of fan-reception. Announced along with the full collection of DLC packs for the recently released wrestling game, the Pat McAfee Show Pack was pretty easily the most derided, since it doesn’t actually contain any… wrestlers.

Yeah, yeah, we know that McAfee has wrestled, but you get the drift as the Pat McAfee Show Pack serves up “Super Bowl Champion AJ Hawk, nine-year NFL cornerback Darius Butler, the legendary Ty Schmit, and the man with the power mullet, “Boston” Connor”. But just keep in mind, that while you might not be overly into the characters included, there’s more to the pack than them.

Also packed in are “over 15 new moves and taunts into the game”, that players can use while making their own custom superstars, in the game’s creation suite.

Joining McAfee in the Pat McAfee Show Pack is the cast of DAWGS, including former 11-year NFL veteran and Super Bowl Champion AJ Hawk, nine-year NFL cornerback Darius Butler, the legendary Ty Schmit, and the man with the power mullet, “Boston” Connor. Each playable character also comes with their own MyFACTION card, and they collectively bring over 15 new moves and taunts into the game, which can also be used for custom Superstars in the creation suite. Also rolling out alongside the pack, and free to all players without DLC purchase, is a new footballforeign object, which can be thrown and caught by Superstars, or kicked by McAfee. The Pat McAfee Show Pack is available for individual purchase, or as part of Season Pass, which is included in the Deluxe Edition, and Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition of WWE 2K24. The previously announced ECW Punk Pack and Post Malone & Friends Pack are also available now.

Landing along with the Pat McAfee Show Pack, is another dose of MyFACTION content. Included there is a brand new tier of Diamond, with the Iconic Moments Series. And if you’re wondering, yes there is a new locker code.

Locker code “PATSMMERGIFT24” will include Amethyst Extreme Series Drew McIntyre, 2x Deluxe Punches & Promos Packs & 3x Faction Wars Tickets.*** Several new Live Events offering unique earnable rewards will also be available.
