EA Sports' UFC 5, the latest installment of their popular fighting video game, is set to release globally on October 27th, 2023. There are two different editions of the game - the standard edition, and a deluxe edition.
The game will be available only on current-gen consoles i.e the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
The standard edition will retail at $69.99, and includes 'alter-egos.' They are cosmetic variants of the cover fighters in Valentina Shevchenko and Alexander Volkanovski. The standard edition also includes XP boosts for the game's career mode, as well as a bundle of cosmetic items themed around the UFC's 30th anniversary.
The deluxe edition, on the other hand, will retail at $99.99, and pre-ordering gives players early access to the game earlier than others. Additionally, players will also get access to a ton of cosmetic and vanity items. The deluxe edition includes legends like Mike Tyson and Fedor Emilianenko.

As of the time of writing, the early access shouldn't matter too much, as everyone can get their hands on the game starting October 27th. That being said, some of the collectibles included in the deluxe edition are things fans have been yearning for years. As a result, the deluxe edition will certainly be a worthwhile purchase for hardcore MMA fans and fans of the UFC 5 game in general.

The asking price of $69.99 (or $99.99 for the deluxe edition) is certainly steep. That being said, users can essentially demo the game if they have an EA Play subscription.
