Thank you to every single player who picked up EA SPORTS™ UFC® 5 and helped us have an incredible launch week. We hope you’re enjoying your time in the Octagon and fists are flying.

We’ve been listening to your feedback and one area we understand did not meet your expectations is the roster. We hear this feedback loud and clear and we are working hard to deliver that depth.

When UFC 5 was in early development, we made the decision that we wanted to keep supporting UFC 4 players as we began to develop UFC 5. Rather than halt live service support for UFC 4, we’ve been updating the roster until July of this year with the goal of delivering fresh content to our community.

We want the community to know exactly what to expect for new fighters in UFC 5.

1. As part of our new Fight Week live service program, we plan on adding new fighters to the roster every month, starting in December. We want to keep hearing which fighters you’d like in the game, so please keep giving us your feedback and tell us who you want to see and in what order. Here is who we are planning on adding over the next few months: 
   • December: Yan Xiaonan and Amir Albazi
   • January: Ian Machado Garry, Mike Malott, Charles Jourdain, Mayra Bueno Silva and Jailton Almeida
   • February: Bryce Mitchell, Maycee Barber and Joe Pyfer
2. Also connected to Fight Week, we will add new Alter Ego fighters every month. This will give you new ways to play with your favorite fighters based on iconic moments in their careers.

We will provide more visibility to the community on which new roster fighters are coming to the game and when. Stay tuned for more updates here.

Thank you for playing. 

Thank you for your feedback. 

Thank you for being passionate UFC fans. 

We’re always listening and working hard to give you the best EA SPORTS UFC experience we can.
