Is UFC 5 crossplay? PlayStation & Xbox cross-platform status

The dev team of UFC 5 have revealed the initial details about the new installment of the EA Sports fighting franchise. After the release of the reveal trailer, the community began to wonder if UFC 5 will feature crossplay. Here is everything you need to know about cross-platform play in UFC 5.

EA Sports have released the highly anticipated reveal trailer for UFC 5, along with unveiling the new features that will come to the new installment of the UFC franchise. These include new technology to enhance the gameplay experience, the addition of new fighters to the roster, and information about the UFC 5 closed beta period.

The UFC community eagerly awaits the release date of October 27, 2023, while wondering if the new UFC 5 will feature crossplay between its platforms. In this guide, you have everything you need to know about cross-platform play in UFC 5.

Will UFC 5 feature crossplay?

According to Dexerto, the new UFC 5 will not feature crossplay between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, at least at launch. Nate McDonald, part of the UFC 5 dev staff said to Dexerto: “The biggest reason is the team really wanted to focus in very specifically on curating the UFC 5 experience into the best possible experience.”

This announcement not only disappointed players on both platforms but also came as a knock-out blow to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players as they also noticed that UFC 5 will not be released for their platforms.

However, when it comes to the EA Sports UFC franchise, we can expect this new title to remain relevant for a couple of years, as has been the case with previous installments. During that period, it’s possible that the dev team may reconsider and surprise the community with the awaited announcement of cross-platform play in UFC 5.
