For the uninitiated, the "P2P" tag in the filename WWE 2K24 Forty Years of WrestleMania v1.17-P2P indicates a scene release. While 2K has leaned heavily into microtransactions via the MyFACTION card-collector mode, the P2P version offers a unique advantage.
In the official game, locking the "WrestleMania 40" versions of characters (like "Macho King" Randy Savage or "Seth 'Freakin' Rollins" with specific alternate attires) often requires VC (Virtual Currency) or hours of grinding. The v1.17-P2P release often comes pre-packaged with workarounds for these unlocks, or at the very least, allows players to access the root game files to mod the client.

For the first time in the series, you can execute a "Super Finisher." If you have three stored finishers and your opponent is in the correct state (red damage on a body part), you unleash a cinematic, often devastating version of their move. For Roman Reigns, this is a spear through the barricade; for Rhea Ripley, it is a Riptide from the second rope. These moves almost always end the match, adding a layer of strategy to storing finishers.
