Hey everyone!

We have a massive update for you today regarding the road to launch. We are officially moving into the final platform certification phase with Sony and Microsoft - a huge milestone for a new studio like ours!

To make sure we pass this process smoothly and to ensure that our PC and console players all kick off their journey at the exact same time, we have decided to move the release date to June 16, 2026.

Honestly, we are sorry to keep you waiting just a few more weeks. We hate having to push the finish line when we are this close, but we would much rather give you a polished, simultaneous launch across all platforms than a messy release day.

🏙️ Welcome to Rio de Janeiro!

To make the wait worth it, we are thrilled to finally reveal our third launch city. Joining Berlin and Warsaw is the beautiful Rio de Janeiro, bringing the legendary Maracana stadium to Copa City!

We are also launching with support for 12 different languages.

Check out the Rio de Janeiro reveal trailer below:

💰 Fair Play Pricing

We want Copa City to be accessible right from day one.

PC: $34.99 / €34.99
Consoles (PS5/Xbox): $39.99 / €39.99

Bonus: We will have a 10% Launch Week Discount live at release for all our early players!

⚽ The Squad is Growing

Our launch lineup is locked: Arsenal, Bayern, Borussia Dortmund, Olympique de Marseille , Flamengo, and Besiktas. But we are already planning for the future!

At least 3 DLC clubs are currently in the works. Today, we are excited to confirm that Fluminense FC will be joining the game as one of our upcoming DLC clubs! The other two clubs will be from brand-new countries we have not featured just yet.

Thank you for sticking with us, even with this slight detour. We are almost there! 🏁

See you on the pitch!
