WWE 2K26's Ringside Pass Season 5 was released on September 9, adding four superstars to the game's roster along with new cosmetic rewards and a new chapter of The Island mode, Video Games Chronicle reported.
The season's Premium route brings in Danhausen, Bam Bam Bigelow, Brie Bella and AAA wrestler Pagano. According to VGC, the four additions come with a combined 35 new moves and taunts for the game's creation suite. Following what the outlet described as the standard practice adopted after player feedback, all four superstars unlock immediately as the Tier 1 reward for players with access to the Premium route, rather than being spread through the pass.
The Premium route also includes two new Persona outfits: Bianca Belair's look from WrestleMania 41, and Randy Orton's 2005 appearance, which comes with his Burn in My Light theme song. The Free tier adds three Persona outfits of its own, based on Alexa Bliss in 2025, Drew McIntyre in 2010 and Triple H in 1999.
Outside the pass itself, the update adds Chapter 3 to The Island mode, with new quests, cutscenes and rewards featuring Stephanie McMahon.
The Ringside Pass so far
Season 5 follows four earlier drops. The first Ringside Pass season added AAA wrestlers Mr Iguana, Psycho Clown, El Hijo Del Vikingo and Flammer. Season 2 brought Demolition's Ax, Crush and Smash along with Kelly Kelly, and Season 3 added Matt Cardona, Brian Pillman, La Parka and Torrie Wilson, with NBA player Tyrese Haliburton included in that season's free tier. Season 4 added Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, musician Jelly Roll and AAA wrestler Lady Shani.
One Ringside Pass season remains for WWE 2K26. VGC reported that Season 6 is scheduled for October and is set to add Earthquake, Typhoon, Royce Keys and Octagon Jr., which would bring the pass's six-season run to a close.
