Originally scheduled to arrive alongside the title last Oct. 27, a companion app for "WWE 2K16" that lets players scan their faces and create a superstar based on their appearance has launched for mobile devices.

According to an announcement on publisher 2K Game's website, the "WWE 2K16" Creation Studio app is now available as a free download on iOS and Android devices. With the app, players can take pictures of themselves or anyone they want and export the images to the Community Creations menu in-game.

The image capture option itself is almost complete, with players having options to alter their appearances in terms of brightness, contrast, color and size. In addition, the app can also automatically crop and resize the images and remove background and other unwanted details from the image.

In addition to images that players can use to export their own faces into the game, the new companion app also has a "Logo Capture" function, which players can use to add custom electronic billboards, decals, show logos, and Championship designs to their "WWE 2K16" experience.

While the companion app already has instructions in the app itself, players who are having trouble scanning and building up images can also read the step-by-step instructions of 2K Games included in the announcement.

The new Creation Studio companion app is timely for it arrived just prior to the rollout of the next expansion content for "WWE 2K16." Players of the current wrestling title will receive the Legends Pack DLC just before Christmas.

Releasing on Dec. 22 for both current-gen Xbox One and PS4 and older-gen Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, the new Legends Pack DLC will add Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper, Trish Stratus, Lita, Mr. Perfect, and Big Boss Man to the expanding roster of unlocked and playable WWE superstars.

The new Legends Pack DLC will come as part of the Season Pass and can also be purchased as a standalone expansion for $8.99.
