Electronic Arts Inc. announced the launch of EA SPORTS™ UFC 6, a new live‑services title that will be released on June 19 2026. The announcement, made on May 5 2026, highlights the game’s focus on authentic fighter movement and striking, and features high‑profile cover athletes Alex Pereira and Max Holloway.

The game will be available in two editions: a Standard Edition and an Ultimate Edition that offers seven days of early access beginning June 12 2026. EA Play members receive a 10‑hour early‑access trial starting on the same day. While a PC version is in development, it is not expected to be available at launch, and the title will launch on console platforms.

EA SPORTS™ UFC 6 introduces several new gameplay elements, including evolved striking and motion systems, real‑time contact with all‑new ragdoll physics, and new modes such as Hall of Legends and The Legacy. The title also leverages markerless capture and Sapien Technology to enhance fighter authenticity and individuality.

The launch adds a new entry to EA’s sports portfolio and expands its live‑services platform. In fiscal year 2024, live services accounted for approximately 73‑75 % of EA’s net bookings, underscoring the strategic importance of titles like UFC 6 in driving recurring revenue through initial sales, in‑game purchases, and season passes.

The announcement follows the release of UFC 5 in October 2023 and signals EA’s continued investment in live‑services sports titles, reinforcing its strategy to grow recurring revenue through new game releases and to deepen player engagement with innovative features.
