Announced alongside the cover and feature reveals for EA Sports UFC 3 was that a public beta will also be held for the game. The beta period will run from Monday, November 27 through Friday, December 1 – but it’s possible if not likely that it’ll get extended through the weekend. Register here to receive a code at a later date for the beta on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
In recent years EA Sports has conducted both open and closed betas for UFC, FIFA, and NHL and offered early online demos for NBA Live. They’ve provided the opportunity to collect and act on feedback to improve the final release products. The play options in the EA Sports UFC 3 beta are very similar to that which went out for EA UFC 2 with both offline and online fights, the ability to try out Ultimate Team, and a Practice Mode.Â
