Purchased UFC 5 Deluxe Edition for early-access. Game says 'Too Early'

Hi JeremyB6123! I hope you are well, delighted to be able to offer you my help!

It is an honor to greet you today and try to help resolve any questions/problems you are presenting, after a search I did I found that this problem can occur if you try to start the game before the official release date.

The official release date for UFC 5 Deluxe Edition is October 25, 2023. Therefore, I suggest you wait until that date to be able to play the game.

Best regards,
Daniel.

Hello Trevor. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Did you purchase the standard edition, or what was the edition you got?
This question is asked because only the MVP and Digital Deluxe edition are the ones that give you Early access to the game.

However, if you have the standard edition and are interested in getting the Early access, you can opt for purchasing the digital deluxe add-on.

However, if you own the MVP or the deluxe edition and still have trouble using the Early Access benefit, please let me know.

Regards,

Arturo.

My apologies, I got the digital deluxe add-on bundle through the game pass, not the deluxe edition. It does say I own the when I view the bundle. That bundle allows for early access, but I keep getting the message that I’m to early.

The deluxe edition appears intended for launch day purchasers, with early access. Most of the additions appear to be consumables you should be able to purchase from the in game store separately

if you did not purchase the Deluxe Edition or the pre-order upgrade, it won't work until tomorrow when early access ends
