In 2011, THQ decided to focus its development efforts on the "seventh generation" of consoles—the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. This meant the aging PSP and PS2 hardware were left out. While there is no official UMD for the game, the community stepped in to bridge the gap.

Modders often swap out menus, loading screens, and entrance music to match the "Bigger, Badder, Better" theme of the official console release.

Community sites like The SmackDown Hotel often host discussions and links to the latest fan creations.

Custom textures bring the updated Raw, SmackDown, and WrestleMania 27 arenas to the small screen.
