LaunchReadiness.V2 is the Section 138 catalog for proving that V2 is ready for
General Availability. It bridges the Unreal test harness, balance launch data,
go/no-go documentation, CI checks, and the TODO checklist.
Drill Gates#
The pre-launch drill gate requires a 60-day internal dogfood, all-mode and all-platform coverage, closed beta metric targets, beta-blocking issue remediation, platform cert signoff, and 5x network stress.
Closed beta metrics are concurrent peak, matchmaking time, rollback frame distribution, crash rate, and anti-cheat false-positive rate.
Go/No-Go Gates#
V2/docs/launch/go-no-go.md is the launch decision record. It requires General
Availability approval, rollout approval, rollback approval, live monitoring
dashboards, and online-services canary analysis automation.
The required dashboards track crash rate, server health, matchmaking p99, rollback frame distribution, and rage-quit rate.

The critical journey matrix keeps first-boot tutorial under 25 minutes and covers arcade ladder, story branches, WWE Universe, MyCAREER WWE, UFC GOAT career, MyGM, MyFACTION, MyRISE, Royal Rumble, towers, Survivor, Tournament, Battle Hub, World Tour, Tekken Force, Devil Within, Chronicles of the Sword, Def Jam Story, online ranked promotion, crew-vs-crew, tag-team 2v2, Royal Rumble online fill, custom content, accessibility, and cross-progression smoke tests.
