Xbox Game Pass is becoming as enticing as it’s been for years, and early access continues to lure players into buying games well before launch. With UFC 6 expected to be a literal hit sports game in 2026, vying for your attention, check out if EA is using either marketing strategy to tempt you into the octagon.
Xbox Game Pass prices were dropped in 2026, which is great news for you, Xbox, and PC players! Whereas early access continues to run rampant through various game editions. With UFC 6 arriving at a good time in the year, we’re here to tell you its XGP and EA status.
Will UFC 6 Be On Xbox Game Pass?
Early promotional material suggests UFC 6 is not a day-one Xbox Game Pass inclusion, which means you’ll have to pay full price for it.
The first UFC 6 info was quite scarce. A release date was revealed without any gameplay footage or trailers. However, that hasn’t deterred me from doing some due diligence and checking out the UFC 6 Microsoft Store listing.

Any title on Game Pass is clearly marked on the store. In UFC 6’s case, it has zero mention of Xbox Game Pass. Its status could be altered between now and launch, so stay tuned for further updates or drastic changes.
Does UFC 6 Have Early Access?
UFC 6 does have seven-day early access if you pay extra for the Ultimate Edition of the game.
You didn’t think you’d get early access for nothing, did you? As usual, there’s a hefty price to pay: $99.99 or £99.99, to be exact.
