《足球经理27》10月29日起开放五天免费游玩

Sega and Sports Interactive said Football Manager 27 will be free to play on PC and Mac from October 29 to November 3 across Steam, Epic, the Microsoft Store, Xbox Game Pass, and PC Game Pass, with no sign-up required. Players who buy the full version during the preview get a 10% discount, keep their progress, and can play until the official November 10 launch. The move follows criticism of last year's Unity-powered Football Manager 26, whose Steam user rating fell below 25% and now sits at 38%.

Eurogamer reports that Football Manager 27 will be free to play for five days this month, described as an industry first. The move follows the disappointing reception of Football Manager 26.

Sports Interactive announced that Football Manager 27 will be free to play on PC and Mac for five days starting 29th October at 6pm GMT, running until the pre-order launch preview begins on 3rd November ahead of the full release on 10th November. Pre-orders open alongside the free period with a 10 percent discount, and saves carry through to the full game, including for Xbox Game Pass players. The studio said making an annual title free to play with all game modes available is believed to be an industry first.
