EA Sports UFC 5 was a major hit that marked the series' transition to the Frostbite engine and brought updated visuals, realistic damage systems, and a more immersive Octagon experience.
With the mark UFC 5 has left on players, anticipation is building up for the next entry in the franchise.
When will UFC 6 be released?
While EA hasn't officially announced anything about UFC 6, we know that its development is underway. UFC commentator Jon Anik confirmed in October 2024 that the voices are already being recorded.
And given past release patterns of UFC 4 being launched in August 2020 and UFC 5 in October 2023, we can expect a late 2025 launch window for UFC 6.
If this holds, early access can start mid-October, with the standard release coming around late October.
What platforms will UFC 6 be available on?
UFC 5 was released exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, eliminating support for old consoles and PC. This pattern is expected to continue with UFC 6, as the majority of developers are now focused on optimizing for current-gen hardware.
A PC port also remains unlikely unless EA has any plans to shift its strategy.
What can fans expect from UFC 6?
According to leaks and speculation, UFC 6 could reintroduce Ultimate Team, add a pure boxing mode, improve ground animations, and refine the clinch and submission systems.
There's also a rumor about Alex Pereira as the cover athlete, and fans are also hoping for more features in the career mode.
