EA Sports UFC 4 is a mixed martial arts fighting game developed by EA Vancouver and released in 2020 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game centers on fighter development through a unified progression system that carries across all modes, shaping a character's identity through fight style, accomplishments, and personality. Career Mode follows a fighter's rise from amateur competition to UFC stardom, while two new environments — The Backyard and The Kumite — evoke the grassroots origins of combat sports. Competitive players can enter Blitz Battles or Online World Championships. On the mechanical side, the game introduces fluid clinch-to-strike transitions for more responsive stand-up combat, alongside reworked takedown and ground systems that give players greater control during grappling exchanges. The combined changes aim to produce a more authentic representation of the varied phases found in professional mixed martial arts bouts.
