EA Sports UFC 3 server closure to discontinue 15 Xbox achievements

If you haven’t yet unlocked all the online EA Sports UFC 3 achievements, you’re going to want to get a move on as EA has announced it is shutting down the EA Sports UFC 3 servers in February 2025.

EA Sports UFC 3 servers closing on February 17, 2025

As per EA’s online services page, the publisher confirms it will close the EA Sports UFC 3 servers on February 17, 2025. This means that any achievements related to UFC 3’s online multiplayer and Ultimate Team modes will be discontinued once the servers are shut down.

Looking through the EA Sports UFC 3 achievements, 15 have been flagged as online-only. If you want the full 1,000G from this one, then you’ll need to unlock these achievements before February 17. Unfortunately, these look to be some of the most time-consuming achievements in the game. The UFC 109: Relentless achievement asks you to reach level 150 in Ultimate Team, which requires completing hundreds of matches, though the top UFC 109: Relentless achievement guide suggests there is a glitch that makes it easier.

Sadly, EA Sports UFC 3 has already been delisted from the Microsoft Store, but if you are a Game Pass Ultimate or an EA Play subscriber, you can play the game using your subscription. EA Sports UFC 3 was released physically, so you can also track down a physical copy if you want those online-only achievements.

Elsewhere in the depressing world of server shutdowns, there are two Xbox server closures planned for December 2024, so make sure you grab any achievements you need from those games before they’re gone for good.
