《足球经理27》将在发售前开放免费游玩

Back of the net! Sports Interactive, along with SEGA have announced that Football Manager will be free-to-play for five days before the game launches in full on November 10th. The game will be playable on Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store.

The game will be available to play from 6pm GMT on October 29th, right through until November 3rd, and players that take advantage of the offer and go on to purchase the title will be able to carry their saves over to the game when it has officially released. All of the game’s modes will be playable during the free period. According to Sports Interactive, “The FM27 Launch Preview replaces what has previously been titled Beta / Advanced Access and is intended to be a version that is closer in quality and finality to launch than previous early play builds.”

Players wishing to access the game via Xbox Game Pass will need either a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

The pre-purchase window for Football Manager 27 will also go live on October 29th, giving players 10% off the launch price and also giving them continued access to the game after the free days are finished.
