EA to shut down servers for mixed martial arts simulator EA Sports UFC 3

Live-service games are not forever. Soon another Electronic Arts project from a well-known franchise will “retire”.

Electronic Arts has updated the list of projects whose servers will be shut down in the foreseeable future. Among them is EA Sports UFC 3.

EA Sports UFC 3 is a mixed martial arts simulator: its online component will cease operating on February 17, 2025. The project has trophies (achievements) tied to online play — usually, once the servers are shut down, the ability to obtain them is lost.

The EA Sports UFC game franchise continues to evolve; UFC 5 was released previously.
