The fifth installment of the MMA fighter game UFC is just a few days away from launch. As players anxiously await to get their hands on the title, some fans have already pre-ordered the game to avail an early access.
Yes, fans have already started getting their hands on the early access program offered by the developer EA. The developer has launched two different editions for pre-order ahead of the game, namely the standard edition and the deluxe edition.
Both these editions come at a different price and feature different pre-order bonuses. The standard edition comes for $69.99 and includes limited yet exciting pre-order bonuses. On the other hand, the deluxe edition is a more premium one, which includes all the benefits of the standard edition along with additional perks.
The deluxe edition, which features Israel “Stylebender” Adesanya on the cover, is priced at $99.99. Among the various bonuses included in the deluxe edition is a three days early access to UFC 5.
When does the UFC 5 Early Access start?
EA’s UFC 5 will officially launch for global players on October 27, 2023. Just like the previous editions of the franchise as well as other EA Sports titles, players who pre-order the UFC 5 Deluxe Edition will have early access up to three days prior to the worldwide release.
Likewise the UFC 5 early access will begin on October 24, 2023. In addition to the early access, the developer has also given players the option to preload the game in advance. Thus early access players can start preloading the game from October 23, 2023t 6 PM onwards.
In addition to the deluxe edition users, players who have pre-ordered the Standard Edition of UFC 5 and are EA Play members can also get a 10-hour trial as early access. This essentially means that players who have bought the $99.99 Deluxe Edition of UFC 5 and players who are eligible for the 10-hour trial will be able to start playing the game from Tuesday, October 24.
UFC 5 promises to be a never-seen-before MMA game. It is the first game ever to be built on EA’s Frostbite Engine and features the all-new Real Impact System. EA claims that the Real Impact system delivers the most realistic gameplay experience.
Apart from the realistic features, UFC 5 also introduces five new game modes. The five game modes include Fight Week mode, Online Career mode, Classic Career mode, Ranked Online mode, and the Play Now mode. Ahead of the launch EA also recently revealed the UFC Fighter Ratings.
