If you’re looking for a soccer game backed by one of the sport’s greatest players, Cristiano Ronaldo, look no further than UFL.
The market for soccer games has primarily been dominated by EA Sports FC and eFootball, but the upcoming UFL looks to carve out a niche among soccer enthusiasts. The game has endorsed its “fair-to-play” slogan since its announcement in 2022, and looks to eliminate the infamous notion about soccer games that skills don’t take precedence over collection and luck.
So, is UFL going to be free-to-play on its release?
Is UFL free-to-play?
In UFL, you can handcraft your football clubs using a roster of real players licensed by FIFPro. As you win more online matches, you can earn more valuable in-game resources, which can be used to improve and customize your clubs. The game will be free to play on your preferred console platforms, such as the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S. It is geared to launch worldwide on Sept. 12, but, despite being free-to-play, players can still pay a pre-order fee and receive early access to the title on Sept. 5.
UFL also has an offline local match mode. According to the developers, the game reached 62,000 concurrent players during its open beta test, and 4-3-3 was the most popular formation among the players.
