Will EA’s MMA title be heading to Sony’s Next-Gen console? Or will it stay in the PS4 division this time?
UFC 4 was announced with a bang recently, and people are already wondering if they’ll get the chance to play it on PS5.
Keep reading to find out the odds!
Is UFC 4 on PS5?
Officially speaking, there has been no confirmation that UFC 4 will be coming to PS5.
UFC 4 was announced for PS4 and Xbox One, much like its predecessor. But does that knock down future PS5 owners hopes of experiencing the title on next-gen?
Thanks to a few next-gen features, they may still be in luck.

Backwards Compatibility
You’ve probably heard this term thrown around a lot with anything next-gen. A console having backwards compatibility simply means that it can work with older games, controllers, and more.
So, with the PS5, that would mean that it could play PS4 games (maybe even older version too).
It’s not been confirmed yet as to whether PS5 will have this feature for UFC 4. It is rumoured to potentially have backwards compatibility with select titles, but the full details are not confirmed as of yet.
What about Smart Delivery?
Smart Delivery means that you can download a game on PS4, and automatically have it for PS5. This prevents people from paying for the same game twice.
However, again, there is no official news on whether the PS5 will support Smart Delivery for UFC 4 in particular.
