ULTIMATE GUIDE to The Island WWE 2K25 | VC, Progression, Rank, XP

VC (Virtual Currency) is essential for unlocking arenas, superstars, championships, and customization options. You can buy it with real money, but there are also ways to earn it without spending a dime.

Play matches in The Island mode

The Island is WWE 2K25’s new online mode, exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Winning matches here is the most direct way to earn VC. Each match pays out around 170-175 VC, meaning you’ll need to grind consistently if you want to stack up a decent amount.

Use Locker Codes

WWE 2K25, like other 2K Sports games, offers Locker Codes that grant free VC, MyFACTION Persona Cards, and other rewards. Right now, only two codes are available, but more will be released. Follow WWE 2K’s official social media pages to stay updated.

Buy special editions of WWE 2K25

If you pre-ordered the Bloodline Edition ($129.99) or the Deadman Edition ($99.99), you already have bonus VC. These editions come with extra content, making them the best option if you’re willing to spend money upfront.

Purchase VC with real money

For those who don’t want to grind, WWE 2K25 offers VC packs ranging from 15,000 to 400,000 VC. Prices start at $4.99 and go up to $99.99. Keep in mind, any VC bought is locked to WWE 2K25—it won’t carry over to future games or other accounts.

How to use VC in WWE 2K25

VC is used for unlocking and upgrading content. Here’s where your currency goes:

Customizations – Clothing, accessories, hairstyles, and tattoos.
Superstars & Arenas – Unlock new wrestlers and locations.
The Island mode – Buy gear and upgrades from vendors.

Customization on The Island isn’t cheap. A single haircut costs around 9,000 VC, meaning you’ll need to win roughly 52 matches just to afford it.

How to Start The Island in WWE 2k25

XP is separate from VC and is only earned through gameplay—you can’t buy it. It’s used to level up your wrestler in The Island mode but doesn’t directly affect attributes like Speed, Technique, or Durability. Instead, XP unlocks rewards such as:

Payback Points
Badge Slots
Cosmetic Parts
Banners
Additional VC

You can check all available XP rewards in the XP menu.

Best ways to farm XP fast on The Island

Grinding XP takes time, but these methods speed things up.

Complete story quests

Each of The Island’s four regions has its own story, offering XP and VC rewards. Completing these storylines is one of the fastest ways to level up. Right now, the number of chapters is limited, but more will be added later.

Finish daily and weekly quests

Quests provide another way to earn XP:

Daily quests – Simple tasks like competing in specific match types.
Weekly quests – Harder objectives that take more time but give better XP rewards.

Since quests refresh regularly, they’re a consistent way to farm XP.

Play online matches

The Island offers 1v1 online matches, and every match played rewards some XP. If you’re looking for a quick grind, just queue up and play. VC is also earned through these matches, so it’s a two-for-one deal.

Perform match actions

During matches, you’ll get XP for completing in-game objectives. Some examples include:

Landing heavy attacks
Reversing moves
Executing finishers
Winning by pinfall or submission

Each action has a different XP payout. If you focus on completing these objectives, you can rack up XP faster.
Farming XP and VC in WWE 2K25 takes time, but if you stick to story quests, online matches, and daily challenges, you’ll level up fast. Since XP can’t be bought, grinding is the only way to progress. Keep an eye on Locker Codes and special events for bonus rewards.
