Sociable Soccer has gone live and into pre-season!
Community Announcements - SociableSoccerCM
We're glad to announce that we are out on Steam. After almost two years of hard work with a small team we get to share this with you. Our football game - a game made to give you the best of football in 3 min. Fun, fast, arcade football has come the fans way.

There's not going to be any BS:ing around here. We know that there are going to be issues, both technical unforeseen ones because of different machines and devices and bugs in the game, so let's tick them off - together. Every lost customer is a sadness, but this is early access.

We aim to make this Sociable - Together

Our team is already aware of the following problems:
- Own goals (+ general suckiness of the AI)
- Performance problems (try to default to lower quality settings when starting the game if it runs slow)
- Controller problems (controllers working in menus but not in-game, looking at the info and will get back on it in support threads)

Sociable Soccer kicks off in early access
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Alice O'Connor)

Inclement digital weather saw the match called off last week, delayed with only a few hours’ notice, but Sociable Soccer today started its pre-season fixtures and launched into early access. It’s a new arcade-y ball-kicker made by Sensible Soccer co-designer John Hare and the Combo Breaker squad. They expect to launch the full version early next year but, if you really want to get kicking now and don’t mind missing features, you can now take to the pitch. (more…)

Update on the Steam Approval
Community Announcements - SociableSoccerCM
Hi guys,

We are aiming for late Friday the 20th as the early access release date. We sent in our build on the 13th and it takes 3-5 business days to get approval. Unfortunately we haven't heard anything yet.

The steam clock seams to be acting weird so we set the available date to 2112, which is also a great album by Canadian band Rush.

We'll update you on any progress on social media.

Sociable Soccer delayed to next week

Bad news, gang: the match is off. Unlace your boots, refold your kit, suck up all the flob you’ve been spitting on the sideline, return the magic sponge to its reliquary, and unslice the half-time oranges. Sociable Soccer [official site], the new arcade kick ’em up from Sensible Soccer co-designer Jon Hare, was due to launch into early access today but it will not. The development team announced this afternoon, several hours before the planned launch, that something has come up and Sociable Soccer is delayed. We’ll need to wait until next Friday, October 20th, to get kicking. (more…)

Sociable Soccer delayed until next week
Community Announcements - SociableSoccerCM
Hi everyone,

We’ve been working non-stop for the last few months getting Sociable Soccer ready for Steam Early Access. Unfortunately we have hit a last minute bump in the road which means that Sociable Soccer will sadly not be released today on Steam.

We can say with confidence, though, that Sociable Soccer will now be coming to Early Access next week. The team is extremely disappointed that you won’t be able to play the game today but feel the wait will be worth it. Please hang in there with us, as we close in on releasing the first chapter of the greatest arcade football action game you’ve ever played.

Sociable Soccer hoofed up to early access this summer
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Alice O'Connor)

Sociable Soccer [official site], a new kick ’em up from designer Jon Hare of Sensible Soccer fame, is now lacing its boots for an early access kick-off this summer. It is, as you’d expect, more cheery footy. Sociable Soccer looked briefly doomed after its crowdfunding campaign accidentally tied its bootlaces together and fell flat on its footballing face, but the team kept on going and now it’s almost here. The game’s full and finished launch is expected to follow in early 2018. Behold these men kicking: (more…)
