Will the UFL be a strong candidate?

As pre-loads of UFL begin, anticipation is mounting to see if it can compete with other established football games on the market. The game has a lot of promising features, including a focus on realism and a wide variety of licensed clubs and players. However, it doesn’t… we still have to see how the game will work in reality and how players will interact with it.

Over the years, EA has dominated football games with its famous FIFA series before parting ways with it in its final installment. The gaming giant cut ties with FIFA last year and its latest game has been a huge success, but it looks like it could face some serious competition in the coming months.

UFL represents a new opportunity for football fans to experience a new and innovative game, but with an emphasis on realism and licensed content as much as possible. The developer hopes to attract players looking for an alternative to other football games, but it remains to be seen whether UFL can deliver on its promises and become a… strong contender in the football games market.

Is there any news about the desktop or mobile version?

Unfortunately, there's still no official word from developer or publisher XTEN LIMITED about a release date for these versions, and it's unclear whether the Swiss developer is currently working on a PC or mobile version. The copies currently available are counterfeits and not the real thing.
