Hi everyone,
We are extremely grateful to everyone who’s taken the time to share feedback and report bugs since the launch of the FM26 Advanced Access Beta last Thursday.
Your feedback has been extremely valuable in helping us to identify and prioritise fixes.
Our teams are continuing to evaluate all feedback and bug submissions with the aim of identifying opportunities to enhance stability, performance, and the overall gameplay experience.
As it stands, our current intention is to deliver updates to the Public Beta branch on Steam on Tuesday (28 October), Wednesday (29 October), and Thursday (30 October) this week. Due to how the Public Beta branch works, we will not be able to provide Beta branch access to those who are playing via the Epic Games Store.
Please note that this is a proposed plan and all builds still need to pass internal Quality Assurance (QA) checks before release. Any updates that don’t make it through testing will be flagged in the following day’s communication, along with details on what to expect next.
In the meantime, please do keep submitting issues via our official FM26 Bug Tracker – these go directly to the QA and development teams. We have noticed a significant number of duplicate posts regarding similar issues.
To assist our team in managing the volume more efficiently, please use the search function in the Bug Tracker beforehand to check if your issue has already been reported. If it has, you can give the thread a +1 using the upvoting mechanic which allows us to see how widespread an issue is. If you can't find your issue, then please do submit a new bug report.
If you have general feedback about the game, we’d also encourage you to leave your feedback on our official Feedback thread.
Once again, your support is key to making FM26 the best it can be, and we truly appreciate your patience and support as we continue to work on the game.
