The impressive Call of Duty arena in WWE 2K26 is far from the first mod Prince has created for the game. The modder has previously released several new stages for players to add to their games, ranging from making older arenas like the 2002 Raw and Smackdown arenas climbable to adding Modern Warfare 2‘s map Rust to the game. The selection of mods even includes some new weapons fans can use in their matches, such as replacing standard thumbtacks with the bracelet tacks from CM Punk’s Showcase mode. Fans looking to download the WWE 2K26 mods will need to subscribe to Prince’s Patreon, specifically the $10/month tier for arenas.
