The game entered Early Access last year and the reception had been strong going into launch, so Habib wasn't entirely surprised that Undisputed has gone on to sell strongly. However, the one million figure is still ahead of projections.

"There hasn't been a boxing game in 12 to 13 years," he explains. "The way we've done Early Access and built our community, and the numbers we were seeing… I was hoping for a pretty good launch.

"But this is my very first time. I have no benchmarks to compare this against. I could act like a spoiled brat and go 'a million's a million, what does that even mean?' But in real terms, I know it's a pretty incredible achievement for an indie studio's first title. And we've gone above our forecasts that the publisher had."

Going forward, the team is focused on the game, and although there are a few new roles to add, we shouldn't expect Steel City Interactive to grow much beyond the 75 people who work there now.

I saw it on the store, and I miss Fight Night from the 360 days. But zero chance I'd touch it without a demo. Gotta see what it feels like to play it.

Same here! I really think it’s high time for EA to release a new Fight Night game, as they've milked the UFC license long enough IMO.

I played Fight Night on Series X, it holds up quite well.

They 100% need to make a new one.

I bought it during early access and it’s quite good. Great roster. Nice simple mechanics. I haven’t played the 1.0 yet but they had to work on some animation stuff.

From the review it looks like the devs have a way to go yet: the boxing can be dull at times compared to Fight Night, visuals are outdated, commentary doesn't match the action. But with the current sales there's going to be a follow-up that can improve on all of the minuses.

It is nice to see people making a boxing game, a genre that is ignored because Mixed Martial Arts has eaten their lunch.

 

[adamsapple]

Nice. Might check this out.

The last time I played a boxing game was that EA Xbox 360 one with a story mode.

 

[noob smokes]

Ea bring back def jam u hear me

 

[Ribi]

good game but lets also not pretend that Saudi Money didnt come in.

 

[chokotoureiki]

It said it was made by game industry novices so I'd cut them some slack. Somebody has to start somewhere. This is great news for them, and I'm happy they saw success. Pretty sure their next games will be even better.

 

[GymWolf]

This just make me want to play a new fight night but i'm not sure if the ufc games team is up to the par.

 

[StueyDuck]

I always thought this was a big budget game.

Good for them if the sales are strong
