Team chemistry and in-game purchases
Wrestling fans and gamers are pretty excited about WWE 2K26 MyFACTION, which will be included once again this year. This is a very popular mode, where players enjoy building and managing a custom roster.
You can consider this similar to card-collecting modes like EA FC 26 Ultimate Team and NBA 2K26 MyTeam. In this, players assemble a squad of wrestlers using card packs and in-game currency. Letâs check out more details in this article.
2Kâs approach to microtransaction in WWE 2K26 MyFACTION
In a recent interview with VGC, MyFACTION lead designer Terrell Carter has shared some interesting insight into how the development team thinks about the paid content.
Their goal is not to make players feel forced to spend money to enjoy the mode. The teams put effort into adding value for those who choose to purchase the content.
Microtransactions can help players with a specific card that is needed for certain events. But the design is way more focused on offering benefits rather than creating restrictions.
âWe try to give more content based on those things, rather than be ultra-restrictive,â
The development team also hopes that players will not feel any pressure to make purchases in the game.

Team Chemistry takes center stage
Team Chemistry is one of the biggest additions to WWE 2K26 MyFACTION. There will be 60 in-game traits that can positively or negatively impact a squadâs performance.
This will play a major role in matches. In case your team does not have synergy, your partners might be reluctant to tag one another, which could result in a disintegration of the matches. On the contrary, balanced teams could benefit greatly.
In order to fight against the bad chemistry conditions, 2K has introduced a new teleport feature, which is based on the classic fighting games such as Marvel vs. Capcom 2. This process introduces an element of speed to the matches and helps players to cope with problematic relationships within teams.
