Undisputed release date latest: When does the boxing game come out of beta?
eSports Boxing Club gets a name change referencing the classic Wesley Snipes film.
Outside of the VR realm, boxing sims have been a neglected medium of late. However, this is changing as we speak - with the technical Undisputed now out on early access.
It was formerly known as eSports Boxing Club (we think Undisputed is catchier), and it looks to be a decent game. With a complex set of controls to master, we hope it will simulate the ducking and weaving of boxing as accurately as a game can.
If you're curious, we'll share all we know about it below.
When is the Undisputed release date?
If you're willing to play the game in an early access beta form, the Undisputed release date was 31st January on Steam.
As of that date, the game is available on early access, costing £24.99 on Steam (or £19.09 on CD Keys right now). However, the price will change as the game is developed into its final form. When the final product will be released, we don't know yet.

Two previous public betas for the game have been released (one in November and the other in December 2022), so we hope the game is close to completion.
On the Undisputed Steam page, developers Steel City Interactive have written that the game will first launch in Early Access on Steam until "reaching a level of quality we feel is up to our standards" - so it may well be that other platforms will have to wait a bit longer until the full release.
Will I have to re-buy the game after early access?
If you purchase the game on early access, you may have to pay more as the game develops.
So if you want to wait until then, that's fair - but it's always exciting to buy an early access title. Especially with the ethos of community feedback!

Which consoles and platforms can play Undisputed?
Undisputed is set to be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
However, only the PC version is confirmed for Early Access through Steam, so console fans may have to wait a few more months until the game's full release.
Undisputed gameplay and story details
Evolving from a small project to a fully-fledged title worked on by over 30 developers, Undisputed promises an authentic boxing experience with Loose Movement footwork mechanics, more than 60 individual fighters and appearances from real-life boxing brands and organisations, including the British Boxing Board of Control.
While 50 fighters will be included at the start of Early Access, an incredible 210 licenced boxers from past and present are set to join the roster in total, including legendary names such as Deontay Wilder, Eddie Hall, Frank Bruno, Tyson Fury, Jessica McCaskill and, of course, Muhammad Ali. This includes a dedicated Women's Divison, as well as hi-tech scanning technology for detailed boxer models.
Early Access is set to include 50 boxers, seven venues and an online and offline multiplayer mode, with Career Mode, Fighter Creation Tools and additional boxers and venues set to be added before the full release.
Is there an Undisputed trailer?
Rather than a single trailer, Steel City Interactive has been releasing regular development updates on the Undisputed YouTube channel - including this full round of gameplay:
