EA UFC 5 Presentation Deep Dive Video Showcases Visuals, Authenticity

EA UFC 5 Update 1.007.001

EA has released the UFC 5 “Presentation” deep dive video, and it gives us an in-depth look at how the fighting sim’s visuals and overall authenticity to the sport (and fighters) lend an extra layer of realism.

Watch the 12-minute footage now to see how the Frostbite engine ramps up the graphics a step or two, and delivers a more technically impressive game.

For the first time in franchise history, the Frostbite™ engine powers EA SPORTS UFC, bringing unrivaled graphics upgrades for console games. From dynamic lighting and overhauled character fidelity to realistic strand hair and cloth animations — Frostbite helps bring the action in the Octagon to life.

Thanks to Frostbite and a significant upgrade to our lighting and rendering features — including dual-lobe skin and eye shading, strand-based hair, updated fighter body types, and industry-leading facial animation technology — the fighters you know and love have never looked more authentic.

It’s all about impact. Improved fidelity means when fighters absorb strikes, the results show on their face and body in an authentic, wince-inducing fashion. Plus, all new fluid physics and particle systems make blood and sweat drip and spray as it does during the heat of the action in the Octagon.

Signature walkouts, breathtaking knockouts, and everything in between. From the roar of the crowd to Bruce Buffer’s iconic introductions, new in-game cinematics bring a whole new level of excitement, authenticity, and immersion to UFC 5.

UFC 5 releases on October 27 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
