WWE 2K25’s The Island mode gives you full control over your wrestler’s abilities, but leveling up isn’t just about playing matches. You’ll need to earn XP, spend Virtual Currency (VC), and unlock badges to improve your MySUPERSTAR’s stats. If you’re trying to boost your character’s overall rating (OVR), here’s exactly how to do it.

How to increase attributes in WWE 2K25 The Island

13 Things WWE 2K25 Does Better Than WWE 2K24 (Features & others)

To upgrade your wrestler in The Island, you need to earn XP, collect VC, and unlock badges. Unlike traditional WWE 2K modes, attributes here are tied to in-game progress rather than immediate stat adjustments.
Here’s how to improve your character:

Win matches – Whether it's PvE challenges or PvP fights, winning earns XP and VC.
Complete quests – Interact with WWE Superstars, take on challenges, and follow the story-driven objectives to gain rewards.
Participate in live events – Limited-time events provide bonus XP and VC.
Spend VC on attributes – Use your in-game currency to upgrade specific stats.
Unlock and equip badges – These add bonuses to your attributes and improve performance.

Each attribute affects your wrestler’s in-ring performance. If you want a dominant powerhouse, focus on strength and grapple offense. High-flyers should prioritize aerial offense and agility.

WWE 2K25 attributes explained

Here’s what each attribute does and why it matters:

Arm Power – Increases the damage of punches and forearm strikes.
Leg Power – Boosts the effectiveness of kicks.
Grapple Offense – Strengthens all light and heavy grapples.
Running Offense – Improves damage on running moves.
Aerial Offense – Enhances diving and springboard attacks.
Aerial Defense – Reduces damage taken from diving attacks.
Aerial Range – Affects how far a wrestler can jump off the ropes.
Power Submission Offense – Makes power submissions like the Bearhug more effective.
Technical Submission Offense – Strengthens holds like the Sharpshooter and Figure Four.
Aerial, Strike, and Grapple Reversals – Increases the window for countering attacks.
Pin Escape – Expands the kickout gauge, making it easier to break out of pins.
Strength – Determines how well your wrestler can lift heavy opponents.
Stamina – Controls how long they can perform moves before tiring.
Agility – Speeds up movement, climbing, and dodging.
Movement Speed – Affects walking and running speed.
Recovery – Determines how quickly the stamina bar refills.
Special – Increases the rate at which signature moves become available.
Finisher – Speeds up the process of building a Finisher meter.

How ranking up affects attributes

How to Create a Custom Superstar in WWE 2k25

Winning PvP matches doesn’t just earn XP—it also affects your rank in The Island. WWE 2K25 uses a tiered ranking system:

Diamond (highest)
Platinum
Gold
Silver
Bronze (lowest)

Moving up in rank earns bonus XP, VC, and unique rewards, while losing matches can drop your rank. If you're serious about maxing out your attributes, staying in the Diamond or Platinum tier will get you better rewards.

Using VC to upgrade stats

VC is the only way to directly improve your attributes in The Island. You can earn it by:

Winning matches
Completing challenges
Selling duplicate items from the in-game store

Once you have enough VC, head to MyBooth stations located across The Island. These kiosks let you adjust stats, change movesets, and customize your appearance.
