The free-to-play, Cristiano Ronaldo-sponsored PS5 football game UFL will get an open beta test on Sony’s system later this week. You’ll be able to try out the EA Sports FC 24 and eFootball competitor between 7th June and 9th June, and you won’t need to jump through any hoops to gain access. The title did receive a closed beta test last year, but this latest sampler is open to everyone.
The game is promising a fairer online experience, and has been in development at Cyprus-based studio Strikerz for several years using Unreal Engine 5. Whether it can actually compete with the EA Sports juggernaut, however, remains to be seen; despite what you may think about the FC franchise, it’s building on years of iteration and technological improvements, and it’ll be tough for anyone to close that gap.
Still, you can find out for yourself by pre-loading the beta through here. As mentioned above, this is totally free to try, so you’ve not got much to lose by giving it a go.

Not all that convinced but eh, competition is good. The F2P structure I just find encourages the worst practices with these games though, eFootball is a shadow of PES’ greatness now and the shift towards live service is a huge part of that.
It needs to be better than the atrocious efootball. A low goal to reach but who knows. It also seems to skip last gen.
I mean the bar is really low atm in terms of gameplay. Even if it doesnt have the most advanced graphics, if the gameplay is actually decent I am more than prepared to sink hundreds of hours into a football game.
Oh? Is this the new FIFA licensed game or something?
I guess we'll see.
