EA Sports UFC 5 is the fifth installment in EA Vancouver's mixed martial arts simulation series — the first to be built on the Frostbite Engine and the most graphically and mechanically ambitious entry in the franchise. Released exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 27, 2023, it is also only the second EA Sports title since Fight Night Champion (2011) to carry an ESRB Mature rating — a deliberate choice to authentically portray the visceral nature of UFC competition. The cover features UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya on the Deluxe Edition, and Alexander Volkanovski and Valentina Shevchenko on the Standard Edition.

Key Features: • Real Impact System — 64,000+ damage combinations affecting performance and fight outcome • Frostbite Engine debut — 60fps, photorealistic fighter likenesses and Octagon environments • Ringside doctor stoppages — severe injuries can pause or halt the fight authentically • Fight Week content — monthly updates tied to real-world UFC events and Alter Egos
