Early access is all the rage, and UFL‘s effort to become the dominant brand in the world of simulated soccer could get a welcome boost courtesy of its early access incentive.
UFL‘s long-awaited release is exciting, as it’s become rare for a genuine competitor to come along and challenge EA FC‘s dominance. eFootball (formerly Pro Evolution Soccer) has fallen by the wayside, but UFL is here to pick up the pieces.
Offering free-to-play soccer and fresh changes in the genre, let’s see how to play UFL sooner rather than later.
How to get early access for UFL
To score UFL early access, you must purchase one of UFL‘s pre-order bundles to lock in seven days of pre-emptive passing and shooting.
Yes, UFL is free to play, and nothing changes this as it’s one of the title’s core ethos, but to support the game and secure some goodies to aid your progression quicker—pre-order bundles can do the business.
Even though they’re not live on PlayStation or Xbox (as of writing), pre-order bundles come with different items, including currencies, cosmetics, and, of course—UFL early access.
Once these bundles go live, you can lock in your pre-order, secure your content, and later download the full game once UFL releases. Early access grants you entrance to the full game from Sep. 5, 2024, a week before its main Sep. 12 release date.
