Development
The developers describe the game's primary model as "fair-to-play" with "a skill-first approach and zero pay-to-win options".[5] Strikerz CEO Eugene Nashilov said the game's model is the company's "core principle", stating "players’ success should not depend on the number of in-game purchases or the value of donations they make".[6] Development on the game began in 2016, and lasted for eight years.[7] The game was built using Unreal Engine 5.[3][8]
UFL was first revealed with a teaser trailer during Gamescom in 2021. In 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo was part of a group that invested £32 million into the game.[9] On 7 June 2024, UFL released an open beta on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles. This was available until 9 June.[10]
