player acquisitions

Cristiano Ronaldo-backed UFL is set to expand with a PC edition launching this summer and a mobile version next year. Since its December launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, UFL has gained over 3 million downloads. The studio has partnered with FIFPro to feature popular players, despite lacking rights to many official team kits. The anticipated PC version is expected between May and August, with an alpha test planned for February or March. UFL operates on a free-to-play model with paid downloadable content, aiming for frequent updates and a live-service approach. Currently, UFL holds a user score of 3.4 out of 10 on Metacritic, while EA's "FC 25" has a lower score of 2.6. EA maintains a strong player base with 18 million to 20 million users in its Ultimate Team mode.
