Jump into the managerial hotseat this weekend with Football Manager 2023 now available to play for free.
PC and Mac users will be able to try out FM23 on Steam completely free until 6:00pm BST on Monday, June 26th. Xbox Live Gold subscribers can access FM23 Console at no cost before 9:00am BST on June 26th.
To continue your journey to footballing glory after the free play period, take advantage of both titles being available at 50% off until mid-July*.
Football Manager 2023 provides you with the closest thing to being a real manager, delivering unmatched levels of detail and drama as you write your own headlines and dominate the competition.
If you already have a Steam account, getting access to FM23 is straightforward.
On Steam, head to the Football Manager 2023 page. Instead of there being a button labelled ‘Add to Cart’, the game will be marked as ‘Free to Play’ and the button will read ‘Play Game’. Clicking ‘Play Game’ will add FM23 to your library and it will remain playable until the free access period ends.
If you don’t have a Steam account yet, no problem – getting set up is simple. Head to Steam and follow the instructions to install the game launcher. From here you’ll be able to register for a free account, which in turn will allow you to follow the process outlined in the paragraph above.
Football Manager 2023 Console on Xbox focuses on football’s most important areas – tactics, transfers and matchdays – as you battle for bragging rights on the pitch.
Xbox Live Gold subscribers should go to the ‘Games With Gold’ page where they will find further details on how to access FM23 Console.
Free access to both FM23 and FM23 Console is only available for the duration of the promotional period. After this, you can continue playing the beautiful game your way by purchasing at any time, with all career progress made during the free period saved directly to your chosen platform.

I am happy to announce that School of Magic will be part of the Games from Germany steam sale. Take a look at all the great games and wishlist all of them!
After 3 years of hard work, we can barely believe it's finally here!
The first thing we wanted to do is say a big THANK YOU to the community. Since the early alphas, since the first demo we put out, you guys joined our Discord, reported bugs, and made loads of suggestions. You made us feel we were working on something cool, something that players cared about, and that we should keep going.
We're very proud of the result, it's a big achievement for our team. We started the project as 2 people and now we're releasing it as 3, a composer, and a publisher.
So to celebrate the launch, we have a 10% discount on the game. And for those willing to give us extra support we have the Deluxe Edition!
And if you're looking for even more reasons to be excited, we have not one, but two amazing time-limited bundles. You can now grab the Nova Lands / Against the Storm bundle or the Nova Lands / The Riftbreaker bundle, each offering an additional 15% discount. Even if you already have another game in your Steam library, this deal will still save you some bucks.
We couldn't be happier with the launch and from the bottom of our hearts, we hope you love it. We hope you all have a really good time in Nova Lands. :heartx:

Today we’re excited to launch Backside Story, a feature-length expansion now available in a free update for Floor Plan 2!
New elevator!
Backside Story features the most exciting elevator to date, with new puzzles, characters, and floors to explore. In fact, this expansion nearly doubles the total number of puzzles in Floor Plan 2! If you’ve been wanting more Floor Plan, you won’t be disappointed!
On your first return to Puzzl, the receptionist will direct you to check out something down the stairs in the lobby. If you are starting from a new save file, you can access Backside Story within about 10-15 minutes. Play up to the point where you enter the East Tower (the first elevator after the tutorial in the storefront), and the receptionist will have instructions for you when you return to the lobby.
New ways to play!
This update adds new standing and seated modes to the game, so you can grab and push anything from a distance and play the entire game in a small play space. Standing mode is the new default setting. If you wish to return to the roomscale control style from the previous version, you can do so in the options menu.
A note from the team
We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to Floor Plan 2 since the game launched back in 2021. Its success enabled us to make this new elevator much bigger than we initially planned, and we spent nearly two years making Backside Story the ultimate love letter to the game’s fans. We’re so happy to finally share it today! If you enjoy this expansion and want us to make more games like this in the future, please consider leaving a rating or review on Steam - it helps us a ton! Thanks for your support!
with love, Turbo Button
