EA Sports UFC 5 for Playstation 5 - Playstation 5

UFC 5 PlayStation 5 runs on the Frostbite engine, where damage carries: cuts and body shots eat into stamina, movement and defence.

That is the change from earlier entries. A round you survived badly is still costing you two rounds later, which makes pacing a real decision.

How it plays

Take a bad enough beating and the doctor can stop it, so a cut above the eye becomes something you fight around rather than a number on a bar.

Ground work runs through the Seamless Submissions system, which keeps grappling exchanges moving instead of dropping into a stop start rhythm.

Good to know

This is a physical disc for PlayStation 5. Fight Week content and Alter Ego fighter variants arrive monthly, so a connection gets you more than the disc alone holds.
