EA Sports UFC 6 officially announced for June release

Electronic Arts has officially revealed EA Sports UFC 6, locking in a global release date of June 19th, 2026, for its upcoming fighting game. This latest entry in the premier MMA simulation franchise will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with rumours that a PC version is currently in development. While a specific launch window for the PC port has yet to be announced, fans on consoles can already pre-order one of the two distinct versions of the game.

The Standard Edition of the game features light heavyweight powerhouse Alex “Poatan” Pereira on the cover, while the Ultimate Edition highlights the Max “Blessed” Holloway. Those who opt for the Ultimate Edition will gain a significant head start with seven days of early access, allowing them to begin their climb through the ranks on June 12th. This premium edition also includes the Fighter Pass, which introduces eight new legendary fighters to the roster, with two available on launch day. Moreover, it also includes an Expansion Pass that guarantees two “fully-loaded” content drops scheduled for the winter of 2026 and the summer of 2027.

Beyond the expanded roster, both versions of the game offer pre-order bonuses in the form of the Iconic Moments bundle, which includes specialised fighter skins for Chan Sung Jung, Miesha Tate, and Leon Edwards. The Ultimate Edition further pads out the package with a VIP Pass featuring exclusive cosmetics and progression boosts, alongside a Rivalry bundle that includes 500 UFC Points. EA has teased that UFC 6 is powered by evolved striking and motion systems designed to bring a new level of realism to the Octagon, with a full feature reveal and gameplay deep-dive expected to arrive by mid-May.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
