Currently, only players who have purchased more expensive editions can access early access. The Ultimate Edition costs $99.99, making the launch quite expensive even for MMA fans.
According to OpenCritic, UFC 6's average rating is 82%, which is the best result in the series' history.
Reviewers note the revamped combat system, more natural fights, and better reflection of fighters' styles. They also praise the improved physics, animations, Flow State system, expanded career mode, new modes, and audiovisuals. Hall of Legends and more accessible training for newcomers are highlighted separately.
However, there is also criticism in the reviews. Some players expected more significant changes after several years of development. They point to limited customization options, controversial career elements, and familiar systems for those who played UFC 5. Overall, UFC 6 is called a strong step forward, but without full realization of its potential.
