Download & Install WWE Universe

WWE Universe will run on iPhones and iPads that were released after 2013 (excluding the iPhone 5C) as long as they're on iOS 9.2 or higher. Since the game is only available in New Zealand, you'll need to create a New Zealand-based Apple ID before you can download the game.

Creating an App Store login for a different country is simple — just sign up for a new Apple ID using a valid email account and a realistic home address for New Zealand. From there, simply sign into your iOS device using your newly-created spoof account. For more on this topic, check out the following link for a detailed guide.

Once you've set up an App Store account based in New Zealand, installing the game will be the same exact process as installing any other game or app. So either head to the App Store and search for WWE Universe to download it, or tap the following link from your iOS device.

• Download WWE Universe for free from the iOS App Store (New Zealand)

Please note that as a soft-launched game, WWE Universe is still in development and is far from a finished product. So don't be surprised if you experience some minor issues while playing. In our testing, the game ran perfectly fine on an iPad Pro, iPhone SE, and iPhone 8 that were all running iOS 11.2.2. Are you enjoying WWE Universe as much as we are?
