![]() What gives? I’m sure there would be plenty of players around the world that would love to play the official UFC game on PC, but EA arent’ even giving them the option. Outside of EA’s licensed sports titles, you have to go back to 2013’s Peggle 2 to find an EA game that was on multiple consoles, but not on PC. Along with the NBA Live, UFC is the only other major series to remain exclusive to consoles. In the case of FIFA, that’s been on PC for over a decade. In the case of Madden, that’s been on PC since 2018. This is perhaps particularly strange because, for the most part, this doesn’t really fit how EA treats any of their other games. This isn’t the case for absolutely every game though and in the case of EA Sports’ upcoming UFC game, EA UFC 4, there are currently no announced plans for any PC version whatsoever. 2020 is a good time to play on a high-end gaming PC, and not necessarily need a console to avoid missing out on specific games you want to play. Generally, though, if it’s a major Western games publisher, the likes of Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, Bethesda, Take Two, or Bandai Namco, we tend to get all of their games that are on consoles also made available on PC. Although even Sony is showings signs of being more open to PC versions of their games like Death Stranding and Horizon Zero Dawn. And, of course, we still see Sony and Nintendo focus on keeping their own first-party games exclusive to their respective consoles. There are, of course, still some exceptions, sometimes due to negotiations resulting in some kind of exclusivity situation, sometimes due to risk-averse management decisions that are not confident there’s a market for their games on PC. These days, thankfully, it’s pretty standard operating procedure for most large games from big publishers to hit PC alongside Playstation and Xbox versions. It’s not too long ago that the question of whether a game would be gracing the almighty gray box was a pressing issue surrounding any game announcement, where if you wind back the clock a decade it was routine for many big games to skip releasing on PC, and focus just on the console versions.
