The UFC PS5 game supports both online and local multiplayer and lists a two-player option. It is also available in a physical PS5 edition.
Submissions were reworked into a 'Seamless Submissions' system with faster, uninterrupted animations and no mini-games. The game also includes a Grapple Assist option to help beginners control and defend on the canvas.
Fighter likeness and rendering were upgraded with improved lighting and facial animation, strand-based hair, and updated body types—making characters look and move more authentic.
