UFC 5 Adds the Sphere Venue in Update 1.013.001 for UFC 306
With UFC 306 taking place in the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, EA has pushed out UFC 5 update 1.013.001 that adds the venue in the game! The patch is live now to all players and is another free content drop for the fight sim.
In addition to the Sphere, players can also expect the Custom Riyadh season “Noche UFC” as well with today’s patch. This was confirmed by the official EA UFC Twitter/X account today as part of the UFC 306 festivities.
For those not familiar what the Sphere is, it’s a music and entertainment arena in Paradise, Nevada, United States, east of the Las Vegas Strip. The venue costs a whopping $2.3 billion making it one of the most expensive venues in the world, and it boasts an 18,600-seat auditorium that’s being marketed for its immersive video and audio capabilities, which include a 16K resolution wraparound interior LED screen, speakers with beamforming and wave field synthesis technologies, and 4D physical effects. The venue’s exterior also features 580,000 sq ft (54,000 m2) of LED displays. Sphere measures 366 feet (112 m) high and 516 feet (157 m) wide (via Wikipedia).
While this new title update doesn’t add any new fighters, it’s still an awesome addition to the game. No word if the Sphere will be added to the career mode, but we wouldn’t hold our breath for it given the mode hasn’t been given any new content since launch. Speaking of new fighters, there was a title update released last week that saw the addition of not only new MMA artists to the roster, but also various adjustments as well.
In case you haven’t bought the game yet, UFC 5 is discounted in the PlayStation Store “Planet of the Discounts” promotion.
