It was announced during a recent showcase of the game that the launch preview of the new edition would be releasing on October 29 for all players. This is a limited window lasting a few days unless you also pre-order the game, which then allows you a full beta period up to the full launch.

There is also a discount offered of about 10% if you pre-order the new title during this launch preview period. Anything after that will be full price.

The Last Word on Football Manager 27 Free Test

After a pretty tumultuous two years that involved a game cancellaiton and a very controversial FM26 launch, this is the ultimate goodwill move from the developers. With many on the fence about the changes to the series, a free run allows people to get a feel for the improvements and feedback taken o for the new release to get them back into the franchise.

There is also a much bigger pool of players who can report unfound bugs or major issues with the title, giving Sports Interactive over a week to work on any fixes that need to be implemented.
