Wrestling GM 2026 Community Survey Results: I Hear You
I hear you. Your feedback matters. Your words matter.
First, thank you. Genuinely. Thank you to every single player who took the time to complete the in-game community survey for Wrestling GM 2026.
This survey was built directly into the game. To keep results meaningful, players had to complete at least 4 in-game weeks before becoming eligible to respond. That means this feedback didn't come from a quick first impression — it came from players who had actually booked shows, managed wrestlers, set up matches, handled progression, and lived with the early gameplay loop.
That makes every answer here valuable.
Why this feedback matters
A lot of surveys capture how a game feels in the first five minutes. This one doesn't. Every response came from someone who had spent real time inside Wrestling GM 2026, working through the systems and finding what works and what doesn't.
That context matters. It's the difference between a reaction and an informed opinion — and informed opinions are what shape better updates.
The headline results
- 184 total responses from eligible in-game players
- 4.1 / 5 average rating
- 74 five-star ratings
- 64 four-star ratings
- 41 three-star ratings
- 131 players said they would recommend Wrestling GM 2026 to a friend
- 52 players said maybe
Most players rated the game 4 or 5 stars, and a strong majority would recommend it. That's a great signal for the foundation — and it doesn't change the fact that there's real work still to do.
What players are enjoying
The strongest positives were all centered on the core game foundation:
- Gameplay
- Booking system
- Easy to use
- Match setup
- Wrestler roster
- Interface / UI
- Feature variety
- Creative freedom
- Create your own company
- Networks / management
- Championships
- Training options
The pattern is clear: the core loop of building a federation, booking shows, and managing your roster is landing well. The creative side — running your own company your way — is something players are connecting with.
That's the foundation. Now we build on it.
What needs improving
Just as important is what players want better. The survey was direct, and so is this list:
- More wrestlers
- AI booking / balance
- UI clarity
- Promo options
- Better onboarding
- More visuals
- Translation requests
- Watch matches
- Custom wrestler creation
- Training depth
- Locations & regions
- Name display fixes
None of this is brushed aside. Some of it is straightforward to fix. Some of it is bigger — full gameplay systems that need to be designed properly rather than rushed out.
How this feedback will be used
To be transparent about how the work breaks down, here's how the feedback is being grouped:
Bug fixes and polish
Name display fixes and other smaller issues fall here. These are the quickest wins and will keep flowing into updates.
UI and onboarding improvements
UI clarity and better onboarding are high on the list. Wrestling GM 2026 is a deep game, and the early experience needs to guide new players more clearly without dumbing things down for experienced ones.
Balance and AI improvements
AI booking and balance feedback is being taken seriously. The AI federation systems are actively being expanded, and balance passes are part of that work.
Content expansion
More wrestlers, more locations and regions, more visuals, more promo options, and translation support all sit here. Content grows steadily — through releases, supporter contributions, and ongoing roster work.
Bigger long-term gameplay systems
Custom wrestler creation, training depth, and watch matches are larger systems. These need real design time, not a rushed patch. They're on the radar, they're being planned, and they'll be communicated when they're ready to move forward.
I won't promise exact release dates on the bigger items. What I will promise is that they're not being ignored.
Built with the community, not in isolation
Wrestling GM 2026 is being built openly. The Creative Suite roadmap lets you see what's coming and vote on what matters most to you. Survey results like these feed directly into that prioritisation.
This game is growing with the community, not around it.
"Wrestling GM 2026 is growing with the community."
Every comment, suggestion, bug report, and idea helps shape what comes next.
Closing
Thank you again to everyone who completed the survey, and thank you to everyone who keeps playing, posting feedback, and reporting issues. None of it goes unread.
Keep playing. Keep telling me what's working and what isn't. Keep pushing the game to be better.
I hear you. Your feedback matters. Your words matter.
