Up to 40% of a game's total sales occur in the first month, according to the SSRN Electronic Journal. Cons?equently, the best strategy for studios is to ensure their titles launch with a bang. Some strategic marketing is necessary to achieve this. Piling up good reviews from critics and gamers is also vital, meaning it's essential for games to launch in a polished state.

Over the years, a few titles have missed the mark terribly, resulting in c?atastrophic launches. The following list contains some of the worst offende?rs in gaming history.

2024 addendum

To borrow a common internet adage, it's like Concord read this list and said, "Hold my beer." As such, we felt it would be a good time to add to this list. It felt as though it would remain incomplete without wh?at is currently the most talked abou?t crash.

But rather than slotting in Concord and calling it a day, I'm going to also add a couple of my favorite launch ??failures. Smangeliso already did a bang-up job on compiling some of the worst??, so those are left untouched.

13. Trespasser - Jurassic Park

The move to 3D graphics was a painful one. Over-ambition was common, and nowhere was this more obvious than with Trespasser, a game based on the Jurassic Park franchise. The lead-up to the launch promised ??a game?? that used a real-time physics engine and artificial intelligence that would make dinosaurs flock together and act based on their specific needs.

Trespasser was technically impressive when it launched. However, the game was rushed so urgently that every promised feature was only technically implemented. Dinosaur AI, for example, wasn't ready for prime time, so the dinosaur's anger was cranked up to maximum??, and that was it. The real-time physics and inverse kinematic animations resulted in the thunder lizards staggering around drunkenly. It's hilar??ious, it's easily one of my favorite terrible games.

12. SimCity (2013)

The first SimCity was released in 1989 and became one of the most influential games in the history of the industry. It practically created the city-builder genre and laid the groundwork for all kinds of management games. Makes sense that EA would be the ones to screw that up. The publisher decided that the once single-player city builder should have a multiplayer element, and that was enough to warrant an always-online requirement for SimCity (2013). Previous botched attempts at always-online had soured the already mixed feelings on the requirement, and it proved to be warranted when many players had difficulty downloading, connecting, and staying connected to?? play the game.

It didn't stop at the online issues, however. Many changes to the SimCity formula were not well received, such as an almost microscopic map size to build on and mindless traffic that players would put through veritable mazes of streets to demonstrate their insistence on taking the most direct path, ??rather than an easily acceptable and better alternative. Three years later, EA would remove the always-online requirement, but at that point, it was far too late.

11. WWE 2K20

The WWE franchise has had a long presence in the gaming scene, and titles like Smackdown! vs Raw 2006 and SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain are memorab?le games that successfully replicate the testosterone-flooded action of sports entertainment.

When WWE 2K20 launched in October 2019, day-one buyers ended up with a game sporting atrocious graphics that looked like they belonged on a PS3. The gameplay wasn't any better, and the numerous glitches made WWE 2K20 a pain to play. The game's terrible reception was one of the reasons WWE 2K21 was canceled. It was for the best, as when the franchise returned with WWE 2K22, it achieved double its pr??edecessor's launch sales??.

10. New World

Amazon's New World h??it stores in September 2021, and the launch was nothing but chaos. Servers were flooded, resulting in players waiting for hours before they could start playing. When people were eventually able to pla??y, they discovered that while the core game was good, it was also plagued with game-breaking glitches. Since release, plenty of updates have been pushed out, and the game is in a better state, but it failed to be the enduring classic that Amazon was likely aiming for.

9. Anthem

When Anthem was announced, the flashy marketing successfully caught the attention of the gaming world. Unfortunately, when Anthem launched in 2019, it was immediately critically panned. Critics and gamers alike complained about many elements, including boring missions, technical glitches, poor performan??ce, and excessive grinding. The game failed to meet EA's expectat??ions, and future developments for it were cut in 2021.

8. The Last of Us Part 1 (PC)

Though the PS5 version launched without any major issues, the PC port of The Last of Us Part 1 has been nothing short of a disaster. Players were greeted with technical issues and absurdly long loading times, making the game unpla?yable for some. Since launch, many have pointed the finger at Iron Galaxy, the studio Naughty Dog entrusted with the port. It won't be the last time the studio appears on the list, so there may be some truth to the accusations.

7. Fallout 76

In 2018, Bethesda took Fallout online with Fallout 76. The game promised to allow players to explore dystopian settings with friends, which is an idea that has great potential. When Fallout 76 launched in November 2018, it was far from what gamers expected, resulting in the PC version scoring a measly 52 on Metacritic. Due to the bad press, many gamers stayed away, and as a result, Fallout 76 had lower launch sales numbers than Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas.

6. Batman: Arkham Knight (PC)

Arkham Knight's PS4 and Xbox One versions were developed by Rocksteady Studios, and the PC port was handed off to Iron Galaxy. This proved to be a mistake. When Arkham Knights launched on PC, it crash??ed const??antly and featured technical issues that rendered it unplayable for many.

The situation got so bad that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment suspended sales of the Windows version of the game in June 2015 while developers ?worked on patches to fix the game. Though the game has improved plenty, the historically disastrous launch won't be forgotten any time soon.

5. eFootball

The free-to-play sports game eFootball was released in September 2021. The concept wasn't a bad one, though the execution left a lot to be desired. Gamers were met with atroci??ous graphics, endless technical issues, and visual bugs that have made for some hilarious screenshots. With a score of 25 ?on Metacritic, it is one of the lowest-rated games of all time.

4. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition

When it was revealed that the GTA trilogy would receive a remake, excitement was high. Launch day arrived in November 2021, and gamers were less than satisfied. The trilogy was rife with technical issues, ugly character models, and visual errors, which should have been spotted during the QA phase of development. To placate fans, Rockstar offered the original trilogy to all cu?stomers who had purchased the remake via the Rockstar Store.

3. Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is a title that has been a ubiquitous fixture in gaming for years, and not always for good reasons. When Cyberpunk 2077 launched in 2020, the experience was so bad droves of gamers demanded refunds, and Sony eventually pulled the game from the PS Store. Fortunately, the story doesn't end on a sour note, as developers have worked hard to improve the game, and after several patches and updates, the game is one of the most enjoyable ?open-world titles on ??current-gen consoles.

2. No Man's Sky

Like many other titles on the list, the developers made plenty of big promises before the game's release. When No Man's Sky launched, gamers realized that many of the promised features were missing, and the performance was poor. There was plenty of outrage, though Hello Games didn't abandon No Man's Sky. Instead, developers got to work releasing patches and updates that slowly but surely improved the game. Today, No Man's Sky is a bestseller available on almost all platf?orms.

1. Concord

Concord's failed launch was so severe that it will probably be studied for years to come. It was enough to warrant an update on this list. It was reportedly the result of years of work and millions upon millions of dollars, and lasted two weeks before it was pulled from marketplaces with a refund being issued to those who had bought it. At least one report suggests that Sony dumped $400 million into the project and was betting on it being the future of the brand. Take that with a grain of salt; it hasn't yet been substantiated. However, the live service sector of the industry is packed to the gills with people hoping to be the next Fortnite, and simply dropping an expensive game in there is not enough to capture the crowd. Whether or not Concord reappears in some form in the future remai??ns to be seen??.

There's no shortage of games with failed launches, and the future will feature plenty more?. From these cases, we learn that although delays may be frustrating, terrible launches are far worse. We also see that even t??he worst launches don't have to spell the end for a game so long as developers persevere.

Good God Almighty, They Killed It

The book closes on a piece of pro-wrestling history next month, as 2K Games has officially confirmed that it will shut down the online servers to the abominable WWE 2K20 and its somewhat better-received predecessor, WWE 2K19, on June 30.

Speaking on Twitter, 2K Games said that going forward the development team would be focused on supporting its most recent WWE release, WWE 2K22, which launched on PC and consoles in March of this year. Once the switch is flicked on June 30, all online elements of WWE 2K19 and 2K20 will become inact?ive, including onli??ne matches, multiplayer lobbies, and the Community Creation suite.

While WWE 2K19 did find some favor among hardened fans, and is considered one the best releases in the WWE 2K series, WWE 2K20 will go down in history as one of the most shambolic releases in AAA history. Rolling out in October 2019, the wrasslin' sim had an utterly disastrous launch �the title packed to capacity with glitches, bugs, warped animations, online lag, flailing cameras, mislabeled control prompts, frame rate issues, and many, many more issues. 2K Games sheepishly apologized for the quality of the product as soon as launch day, but not before raking in plent??y of $60 sales.

It didn't end there. Future updates and fixes would add further problems, including an amusing bug that prevented the game from launching once the real-world calendar hit 2020. Yikes. 2K Games would decide to take a year out from the franchise, and instead released garbage brawler WWE 2K Battlegrounds �a microtransactions-filled d??isaster that died a deserved death in double-qui??ck time.

WWE 2K22, considered a "restart" of sorts for the beleaguered series, has received relatively positive reviews from critics and fans, but most of the community admits that there is still much to be done before the WWE 2K series hits the heady heights of the pro-wrestling video game greats. If you want to check it out for yourself, then WWE 2K22 is available now on PlayS?tation, PC, and Xbox platforms.

Ink Twice

WWE and Take-Two Interactive could be headed to court after a tattoo artist filed suit over the replication of her artwork being featured in numerous titles in the WWE 2K series.

As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, artist Catherine Alexander is asking for remuneration after several tattoos she designed and inked for pro-wrestler Randy Orton between the years of??? 2003 and 2009 have repeatedly been featured on Orton's in-game character model. The six tattoos in question include a dove, a skull, a bible verse and several tribal patterns.

On Saturday, Illinois judge Staci Yandle offered partial summary judgement on the case. Yandle ruled that while WWE and Take-Two did copy Alexander's work in-ga?me by recreating her art on Orton's character model, it wo??uld be up to a jury as to whether this move qualifies as copyright infringement. The outcome of this lawsuit could set an industry-changing precedent for tattoos and their representation going forward.

"It is unclear whether Alexander and Orton discussed permissible for?ms of copying and distributing the tattoo works or whether any implied license included sub-licensing rights such that Orton could give permission for others to copy Alexander’s tattoo works," wrote Yandle in the ruling. "Thus, the evidence raises a triable issue of fact as to the ??existence and scope of an implied license and Defendants’ motion [to dismiss] is denied as to this affirmative defense."

Take-Two has previously won a similar lawsuit regarding the appearance of tattoos in its NBA 2K series - arguing that the appearance of the tattoos is a trivial and ins?ignificant element of the gameplay - however this new lawsuit was filed in a circuit that does not recognise triviality as a justifiable def??ence.

"Alexander contends she created the tattoos for the purpose of displaying them on Orton’s body and that Defendants used the tattoos for the same purpose; to display them on Orton’s body in the video games," continued Yandle. "Alexander also disputes Defendants’ characterization of the size of the tattoos and maintains they are prominently display?ed and clearly visi??ble in the video games. These are material factual disputes."

This is not the first time Alexander has tangled with the WWE over the replication of Orton's tattoos. Alexander had previously contacted WWE in regards to th?e tattoos in question appearing on other merchandise, such as faux sleeves that featured the body art of various pro-wrestlers.

You can read the full case ruling over on The Hollywood Reporter website.

Wrestlelameia

One of the most prolific disaster releases of 2019 was the newest entry in 2K Games' long-running wrestling series, WWE 2K20. Within mere hours of fans getting their mitts on the game back in October, it became apparent that the title was a wreck, featuring a notorious catalogue of problems and spawning some very angry feedback.

Unfortunately, the situation didn't get a whole lot better post-patch, especially when a bug concerning the console's internal clock meant that WWE 2K20 crashed out entirely at the dawn of the new year. Not since the heady days of Assassin's Creed: Unity had?? such a rough-looking AAA product hit the market - for $60, no less.

Speaking in last week's quarterly earnings call, (as noted by DualShockers) Take-Two Interactive's CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the company was "disappointed that WWE 2K20 did not me??et our expectations, both in terms of sales and quality," before noting that 2K Games plans to work closer with developer Visual Concepts "to ensure that these issues are addressed in future."

The WWE 2K series has arguably been stagnant for years, pumping out repetitive annual releases that consistently fail to capture the speed, dynamism, personality and excitement of the WWE's in-ring product - or at least the in-ring product when showcased at its very best. A wise move would be to can WWE 2K21 al?together and work on creating a truly great, fan-pleasing comeback title to be released at a later date. But given the modus operandi of the video game industry, especially when it comes to annual Holiday releases, I can't see that happening.

I eagerly await the announcement of XFL 2K21.

Royal Fumble

One of the grossest releases of last year was 2K Games' abominable wrestling sim WWE 2K20, a game which launched so bereft of acceptable quality it was outrageous that it hit the shelves at all. The newest iteration was packed to the?? rafters with bugs, glitches and body-horr??or monstrosities. And, unbelievably, it seems that the current entry in the stagnant series is the gift that keeps giving.

An all-new bug was discovered yesterday, after reports came in of players being suddenly unable to access various gameplay modes. It was then discovered that WWE 2K20 essentially crashed out when the console's internal clock hit January 1. You read that right: WWE 2K20 stopped working when we entered 2K20.

2K Games has since released a hotfix, which should solve the problem for those players suffering with this weirdly ironic bug. (Though some replies on Twitter suggest not everyone has been able to get back in the ring just yet.) Regardless, this baffling new issue is just another pickle in the shit sandwich of a release WWE 2K20 turned out to be. Definitely one for the ages.

Royal Stumble

Despite the 'net being awash with memeriffic gifs, screengrabs and videos of the less-than-main event state of 2K Games' WWE 2K20, the latest release in the annual wrestling sim ??series still found its way into the UK Charts, landing at number three.

The wonky title beat out both MediEvil and The Outer Worlds' physical launches in Blighty to take the top-ranking position, despite being a candidate for one of the year's most disastrous video game launches. 2K Games noted on Friday that it plans to release an "initial" patch to the myriad of problems in about two weeks time. As an aside about The Outer Worlds, a helluva lot of our beloved community seem to be digging ??Obsidian's new intergalactic adventure, which is nice to see.

Of course, hardly even a headline by nature of its inevitability, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare debuted straight in at number one. As noted by GamesIndustry.biz, the new release sold almost 40% more physical copies at launch than last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops IV. And chances are Cap?tain Price and Co. will be se?ated at the top of the charts for some time. Watch for our review in the coming days.

Nintendo still hold a presence, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Ring Fit Adventure, and Minecraft for Switch all retaining Top Ten positions. Electronic Arts' Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville also held high ranking? for its second week, slipping slightly to number nine.

Hell in a Cell, and everywhere else

[Update: As reported by Eurogamer, 2K Games has finally responded to the slew of complaints regarding the diabolical state of WWE 2K20. In a statement on Twitter, the studio said it was "l??istening closely" to the feedback and hoped to have an initial patch ready within the next two weeks.

In my opinion, given the memeriffic nature of this calamitous launch, (which even made BBC News), the wildfire spread of screengrabs and glitch compilation videos, as well as the run of low review scores from both critics and fans, the horse is long out of the barn on this o??ne.]

Yesterday saw 2K Games launch the latest entry in its wrasslin' series, WWE 2K20. Early murmurs coming out of preview events had already suggested that this year'??s offering from the franchise had technical problems and lackluster gameplay, but purchasers have since discovered that the reality is far worse.

As reported by the fans themselves, WWE 2K20 is an absolute mess, packed full of bugs, glitches, broken mechanics, poor visuals, and omitted features. Within hours of release, the in?ternet was filling up with both anecdotal and video evidence, showcasing the myriad problems with the $60 title. (Note: some of the linked videos feature NSFW language.)

Issues noted include referees refusing to count pins, entrance music continuing throughout matches, button prompts failing to appear, mislabeled options, the sa??me wrestler appearing multiple times in a match, flailing cameras, borked gravity, frame rate drops, and other candidates ripe for Botchamania. This is to say nothing of the visual glitches, which allows the slimmed-down Create-A-Wrestler mode to birth nightmarish models, the likes of which haven't been seen since Assassin's Creed Unity.

WWE 2K20 also seems to be struggling with its in-game engine. While the WWE titles have always been notorious for problems such as clipping, the videos currently online take these issues to the seventh level of purgatory. Clips posted include Ronda Rousey going apeshit in the ropes w??hile eve??ryone loses their knees, a referee trying to pull off a Cronenberg ??body-morph with Charlotte Flair, and wrestlers endlessly rolling around the ring. A Reddit thread posted by DazedRabbit offers a catalogue of problems with WWE 2K20 in its current state.

Angry fans took to Twitter with the hashtag #FixWWE2K20 to voice their concerns, while also filing negative reviews on Metacritic and Steam. 2K Games has since reached out to IGN, stating a Day One patch is now live in game, but whether this huge shopping list of issues can be brought up standard remains to be seen, not to mention general complaints about the poor vi???suals, clunky controls, and removal of fan favourite features.

The Fiend rises

When WWE 2K20 was announced last week, publisher 2K stated it would be going in a different route for DLC. Well, it's certainly sticking to its word, as the first announced DLC pack for the upcoming wrestling game is pretty out there. Going under the title of "WWE 2K20 Originals," each DLC pack will introduce players to a "Fictional Realm" that contains themed sk?ins, arenas, 2K Towers, and a Showcase campaign. The very first one will focus on Bray Wyatt's "The Fiend" character with its own wacky storyline.

Called "Bump in the Night," the first pack will launch alongside the game and come free with all pre-orders ?(regardless of edition). As the description reads:

An alternate "Swampfather" version of Bray Wyatt has amassed otherworldly power, becoming an embodiment of the swamp itself. He lures Finn Bálor to his compound to recruit Finn's Demon into his group of powered Superstars, which he calls his "Family." Finn is forced to fight in a series of matches against members of Wyatt's Family until finally, the powe??r within Finn Bálor is unleashed. Exclusive commentar?y brings the story to life.

That's a hell of a storyline, that's for certain. Following Bump in the Night, each new DLC pack will cost $15. 2K is planning for an additional three packs after this first one, which you can nab for $30 by getting the "WWE 2K20 Backstage Pass." The season pass will also be included in the? $90 Deluxe Edition. You can read the full contents of Bump in the Nigh?t below.

Maybe it will be good, then

Yuke's will not be in charge of developing the upcoming WWE 2K20. 2K revealed the news to Video Games Chronicle yesterday an??d confirmed that its in-house studio Visual Concepts will be handling development duties for the f?oreseeable future. In a statement given to the publication, 2K said:

WWE 2K20 will be developed by Visual Concepts, who have worked with Yuke's on the development of the series since WWE 2K14. As we've continued to invest in the WWE 2K franchise, we've seen the Visual Concepts team display incredible passion, talent and commitment to the future of the series. We thank Yuke's for their ye?ars of partnership and are excited to see what the Visual Concepts team brings to the franchise moving forward.

This will likely come as a pleasant surprise to followers of the series. For all its efforts, Yuke's is wildly inconsistent with quality when it comes to the WWE 2K series. Some games are hits (like 2K13 and 2K14) while others are absolute trash (like 2K15). It's hard to tell which year will bring a worthwhile purchase and which will fill you with buyer's remorse. Transitioning away from Yuke's will likely produce a more consistent series, even if 2K20 doesn't stick the landing.

Hulkamania is back

[Update: 2K Games has confirmed the pricing for the various editions of WWE 2K20. The standard will cost $59.99, the deluxe will be $79.99, and the collector's will go fo??r $129.99. All prices are USD.]

2K Games has announced that WWE 2K20, the latest installment in its annual wrestling series, will be entering the ring on October 22, 2019. Along with confirming the date, a ton of information about game modes and the roster was revealed and there's a real shocker for fans. Hulk Hogan will be returning to the WWE games after a five-year hiatus for his racist remarks. Not only that but famous diva Chyna will be making her debut in the series at long ???last.

This year's "2K Showcase" for the game will focus on the Women's Evolution storyline. Featuring the "Four Horsewomen," this story mode will have historical recreations of famous matches with objective-based goals for players to complete. It's one of the better career modes in the WWE games and was a highlight of the dreadful WWE 2K15 y??ears ago. This year looks to finally do justice to the female ath??letes that compete in the WWE.

Continuing in that fashion, MyCareer will finally allow you to rise through the ranks as a female superstar. There's mention of an intertwining storyline featuring both the?? male and female created superstars, which could make for some juicy rivalry or romance options. You gotta love how much these wack?y career modes lean into the soap opera-like nature of the WWE.

Rounding it off, mixed tag matches will finally be available to play. A long-requested feature by fans, mixed tag will allow two male and female teams to battle against each other and create scenarios similar to the "Mixed Match Challenge" that airs on TV. You can even mix and match genders (as the ????name would imply) to create your dream tag of power.

DLC for 2K20 is also said to be completely different. Instead of focusing on individual packs coming at a later date, 2K is looking to keep a more constant flow of updates coming to 2K20. Buy??ers of the standard edition will receive the first DLC pack for free, while anyone that opts for the deluxe or collector's editions will get all of the DLC included. There's no mention of price, but I'd wager the season pass will go for $40.
