The new version of the UFC’s official video game is available now until July 17 as a standalone purchase for PS4 and Xbox One or as a free Icon Update for current owners of previous versions of UFC 3.
Additionally, Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena has been added as a playable venue.
The new version of the series is the first to feature avid gamer Johnson on the cover, and “Mighty Mouse” said he’s thrilled with the honor.
“This one is for all the hard-working gamers out there,” Johnson stated. “Games are a big part of my life, so to be on a cover of an EA Sports game for the first time ever, that’s incredibly special.
“I worked hard to get here, and it’s a great feeling to be immortalized as an icon.”
Who’s going to be the first to match Ortiz against UFC President Dana White?
