AEW fans and gamers alike can now play a brand new mobile wrestling game as part of a collaboration between the All-Elite promotion and TNT Sports.
AEW: Figure Fighters is available now in the United States and is available for download from the App Store and Google Play. The free-to-play game was announced in June 2023 and features AEW’s stacked roster. An ‘autobattler format’ which allows players to level up their wrestlers via a series of game modes and challenges.

AEW: Figure Fighters marks the latest effort from the promotion to expand into the world of gaming. In July 2021, AEW Elite: General Manager launched on iOS and Android, allowing players to step into the shoes of Tony Khan. Last year saw AEW’s first console video game, Fight Forever, hit shelves, and the game has consistently seen updates in the form of DLC. In addition to game, AEW recently launched its own gaming podcast hosted by Adam Cole and Evil Uno.
