WWE 2K24’s Pat McAfee Show Pack DLC arrives today, adding five new characters

The third DLC pack for WWE 2K24, the Pat McAfee Show Pack, is released today.

As the name suggests, the highlight of the new pack is the addition of WWE commentator and former NFL player Pat McAfee as a playable superstar in the game.

He’s joined by four other playable characters – AJ Hawk, Darius Butler, Ty Schmit and ‘Boston’ Connor – all of whom are co-hosts on the Pat McAfee Show, a daily sports talk show hosted on ESPN.

Of the five, McAfee is the only one who’s active in WWE programming, and has also been involved in a handful of matches in recent years against the likes of The Miz, Austin Theory and Baron Corbin.

The DLC will also come with MyFaction cards for each of the five playable characters, as well as 15 new moves and taunts which can be used for custom superstars.

A new American football object has also been added to the game. Wrestlers can throw it at opponents, while McAfee can also kick it.

This is the third of five planned DLC packs for the game. The first, the ECW Punk Pack, was released in May and included CM Punk, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Sandman and Terry Funk.

This was followed by last month’s Post Malone & Friends Pack, which included Post Malone, Headbanger Mosh, Headbanger Thrasher, Honky Tonk Man and Sensational Sherri, as well as Jimmy Hart as a manager.

The fourth pack, set for release on  September 20, is the Global Superstars Pack including Carlito, Dragon Lee, Jade Cargill, Kairi Sane, Lyra Valkyria, Michelle McCool and Nia Jax.

This will be followed by the WCW Pack on November 13, which will include Diamond Dallas Page, Lex Luger, Mr Perfect, the Great Muta and the Iron Sheik.
