EA UFC 5’s First Patch of 2025 Adds a New Fighter, Vanity Rewards
[summaraize]
Electronic Arts continues its amazing support of MMA sim UFC 5, as the game’s first-ever patch of 2025 is now live on all platforms. While the developers call this patch version 1.18, those on consoles should see this as UFC 5 update 1.018.
Like every major update, this brings a new fighter and alter egos. However, this time around, even new vanity rewards have been added too, which doesn’t happen often.
