2K has finally piped up about the disastrous launch of WWE 2K20, promising patches are on the way.

The wrestling video game launched on 22nd October and went viral on social media for its nightmarish - and hilarious - glitches. #FixWWE2K20 ended up trending on Twitter in the US.

Publisher 2K remained silent (and failed to respond to Eurogamer's request for comment) until late on Friday, 25th October, when a statement was issued on the WWE Games Twitter account.

WWE 2K20 is in such a sorry state that the developers have quite the job on to turn it around. Whether sentiment, which is already deep in the negative, can be swayed remains to be seen.
