UFC3Native (EA Sports UFC 3 PC port)

EA Sports UFC 3 (EA Vancouver, 2018) came out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and never on PC. GNSB created the port’s repository on 14 October 2026 and published fifteen releases in its first week. It builds on SacredFire, T3CHNOLOG1C’s port of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, which in turn comes from deadinside28’s native Bloodborne port.

What it is

• Native execution: the game’s eboot.bin from your dump is converted into a memory image and its x86-64 code runs directly on your processor. Nothing is translated from another CPU, and no game code is in the download.
• A game-specific runtime replaces the PS4 system libraries: memory, threads, files, audio, controller, saves and network.
• Graphics: an adapted shadPS4 renderer translates the PS4’s GPU commands and shaders to Vulkan, with many fixes for this game.
• Licence: GPL-2.0-or-later, the same as the code it builds on.

Background: our recompiled games list.

Current status

Features listed in the README and release notes:

• a Windows launcher (UFC3.exe) and a GTK launcher on Linux, with player name, game language and rebindable keyboard and controller buttons;
• 720p or 1080p, with experimental 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 internal resolutions (validated on Linux only), PS4 Pro mode, AMD FSR 1.0 and sharpening;
• an unlocked frame rate with limits of 60, 90, 120, 144 or 240 FPS (the game’s own cap);
• online between friends on Windows or Linux, rematch included.

The README gives 137–196 FPS in fights on a Ryzen 5 5600 with an RTX 4070 on Linux, and 60–83 FPS on a laptop RTX 3060 on Windows; fights run slower on Windows than on Linux.

Known problems: on 24 October 2026 there were 16 open issues, among them black 3D scenes on Intel Arc and integrated Intel graphics, frame rate dropping after several fights, glitches on created fighters’ faces, black bars on ultrawide screens and slightly higher input latency. Moving the window to another monitor while the game starts can crash the NVIDIA driver. We didn’t play it ourselves.

What you need

• A decrypted dump of your own PS4 copy of UFC 3, CUSA06534, plus the 1.14 update. The port’s script merges the two folders. Other editions are not supported. We don’t explain how to obtain or copy game data.
• A CPU with AVX2, BMI1, MOVBE and LZCNT: Intel Haswell (4th-gen Core) or newer, or AMD Ryzen. Older AVX-only CPUs such as Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge don’t work yet.
• A Vulkan 1.3 graphics card, ideally with 6 GB of VRAM or more.
• Windows 10/11 64-bit, or Linux with glibc 2.38, Python 3 and GTK 4 for the launcher.

How to install

At a high level, from the README: download the Windows zip from the project’s GitHub Releases page and extract it into a new, empty folder; open UFC3.exe, pick your CUSA06534 folder (an update folder next to it is found automatically) and press Play. The first start prepares the game in a few seconds and rebuilds the shaders, so the first fight may stutter. On Linux, use the AppImage or build from source with the repository’s build.sh.

UFC 4, UFC 1, 2 and 5, and UFC Undisputed 3

About PORTHEON

PORTHEON by XAndromedaXR is a Windows launcher that says it runs EA Sports UFC 1 to 4 (PS4), UFC 5 (PS5, on a KytyPS5-based engine) and UFC Undisputed 3 (through the Xenia Canary emulator of a fan mod), picking settings for each. The Brazilian site Critical Hits reported on it on 21 October 2026. What we found on GitHub:

• the repository is a fork of GNSB’s UFC 3 port, created on 17 October 2026 by an account made the same day; the only change by its owner is a new README;
• the launcher, the ports of UFC 1, 2, 4 and 5 and their settings come as downloads of about 100 MB that update themselves, and we couldn’t find their source code in the repository;
• the release notes ask for donations and offer early access to future games in return.

We couldn’t confirm what those downloads contain, so we don’t link PORTHEON. The UFC 3 code it is built on is GNSB’s port above.

Is it legal and safe?

• These are unofficial fan projects, not affiliated with or endorsed by Electronic Arts, the UFC or Sony. The READMEs say no game files are included.
• Use only a dump of a copy you own.
• Get the port only from its official GitHub repository. Sites offering “UFC 3 PC download”, “UFC 4 PC” installers, activation keys or “unlocked” game packs are not affiliated with any of these projects and often carry malware.

Not working?

• Black 3D scene on Intel graphics: a known issue; 0.1.13 added Intel Arc shader fixes, but the issue is still open.
• The game crashes: send that session’s .log from the launcher’s Open logs folder button with your issue on GitHub; turn on Frame statistics if you can reproduce it.
• FPS drops over a long session: update to the latest release, and keep the log folder on a local disk.
• The CPU is too old: the launcher says so; AVX-only CPUs are not supported yet.
