Hello everyone.
It's been a busy stretch. Since Gamescom we've shipped 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and 1.1.3.1, so this is a noticeably smoother game than the one people were playing in August.
Underneath all that it's still a management sim that cares about the whole organization rather than just match day. Scout the players, argue about the contracts, develop the talent, hire the staff, grow the brand, then go and win something with it.
Esports Manager 2026 is on sale during the Steam Autumn Sale, October 1 to October 8.
Come and say hello in our Discord
