We're aware that players are currently unable to disable the HUD in UFC 6. A fix is in the works and will be included in an upcoming patch. Further updates will be provided at a later date.
Since the announcement of EA SPORTS UFC 6, we've been closely monitoring community feedback, most recently on Health and Stamina, specific Perks and Flow States, the number of knockdowns, and several other key topics. Our team continues to track these reports and actively discuss which elements need adjustment.
Today, we want to share another look at what we're adjusting, the reasoning behind these changes, and how they'll deliver a more authentic, competitive, and rewarding gameplay experience. Click the link to see a breakdown of the updates rolling out on August 6, 2026, along with what's on the horizon.
As always, keep an eye on the official EA SPORTS UFC 6 social channels for the latest news.
Thank you for your continued passion and support!
Our team is currently working to grant access to more players for PlayTest 1, which features Connected Franchise and Play Now.
As part of the rollout plan, some registered players will instead receive access to PlayTest 2, which begins on August 6.
Please note:
All players who participate in the Connected Franchise PlayTest between July 22 and August 2 will automatically receive access to PlayTest 2.
Players who registered for PlayTest 1 but were not selected will automatically be included in PlayTest 2, running August 6–9.
PlayTest 2 Schedule:
* August 6–7: World of CHEL (WoC)
* August 8–9: Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT)
We appreciate your enthusiasm and support as you help improve NHL 27. Your feedback plays an important role in shaping the final game experience.

We’re aware that PlayStation 5 players are currently unable to access the UFC 6 EA Play 10-hour trial. Our team is investigating the issue, and we’ll share an update as soon as we have more information.
Hey Drivers,
We know how much Co-op Career means to many of you. For some players, sharing a season with a friend is a core part of the F1® experience, and we understand this news will be disappointing.
As we looked at what we could deliver with the F1® 25: 2026 Season Pack, we carefully explored the opportunity to include Co-op Career. Ultimately, our focus had to be on the changes that would have the biggest impact on the new 2026 gameplay experience, including updated regulations, a refreshed driving model, a new circuit, and the arrival of new teams.
Because of that, Co-op Career will not be included in the Season Pack. We know that is not the answer some of you were hoping for, and we do not want to minimize that disappointment. While the mode will not be supported in this update, we are excited for you to experience the changes and additions that help define this new era of Formula 1®.
Looking ahead, in 2027, we will release a new, reimagined EA SPORTS F1 title that looks, feels, and plays differently. We know many of you care deeply about the future of the series, and we look forward to sharing more when the time is right.
Thank you for your passion, your feedback, and for continuing to be part of the F1® community.
