UFL, the soccer game backed by football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, is making waves in the gaming industry. Recently, during an open beta, a staggering 1.3 million players flocked to the game within just a few days. But what sets UFL apart from the reigning champion, EA FC (formerly known as FIFA)? Let’s explore.
UFL aims to be a “fair, skill-first” soccer game, disrupting EA FC’s monopoly. Over 5.5 million matches were played, resulting in 9.9 million goals during the beta weekend. UFL found its biggest audience in the UK, Brazil, Germany, France, and the United States. In December 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo invested a whopping $40 million in UFL, solidifying his commitment to the project.
UFL vs. EA FC
Several players have reported that UFL feels more accessible and polished than EA FC. While EA FC has dominated the soccer genre for years, UFL’s positive beta feedback suggests it could be a worthy challenger. Apart from that, FIFA has expressed interest in creating its own video game, adding more competition to the mix.
UFL’s journey has just begun. With Cristiano Ronaldo’s backing and positive early impressions, it has a real shot at becoming the go-to soccer game.
