Can you play EA Sports UFC 5 on Xbox Game Pass?

The Octogon arena will be empty because EA Sports UFC 5 won’t be available on Game Pass on day one of its release. Other EA Sports games take around 6-9 months to appear on the subscription platform, depending on when the current sports season ends. FIFA 23 took nine months to arrive on the platform.

The last MMA title UFC 4 took almost a year to release on Xbox Game Pass. The game came out on August 14, 2020, while its Xbox Game Pass debut was July 10, 2021. That’s about 11 months. If we follow that timeframe, UFC 5 could arrive on Game Pass in September 2023, but that is just speculation.

Will there be a 10 hour trial?

Xbox Game Pass comes with EA Play, which gives players access to EA’s vault of older titles. However, it also comes with 10 hour free trials of the studio’s latest games. EA Sports UFC 5 will be a part of that. You can check out the game for this amount of time and see if it’s worth the investment. EA Play subscribers also get a 10% off discount for all EA games.
