Why do people buy early access games?

Players buy “Early Access” titles to help fund the full release of the game. As such, they're buying an unfinished product, and only pay part of what the full game would likely charge. Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Better price. Convenient; no need to drive to the store. Always on your system, no need to find the disc or game card. No chance of being stolen, lost or damaged.

How are people getting early access to 2k23?
The most reliable way of ensuring that WWE fans get early access is by purchasing the digital version. The Digital Deluxe and Icon editions will launch at midnight on March 14, 2023, and players won't need to worry about the game arriving in the mail on time or finding the correct retailers that sell it.

Do early access games ever get finished?
Think of Early Access as a pre-purchase for a game that isn't finished yet. The idea is that a developer makes an alpha or beta build of their game available to buy for a knock-down price. Unlike demos or pre-orders, these versions of the game are rough and unpolished at best, or buggy and unfinished at worst.

Is it good to buy early access games?
You are simply buying it early, when many bugs are still present, and you are in the early stages of the game where the developers are still trying to get everything straight for the full release. When the full release happens, your game just gets updated just like any regular game does, nothing special.
