One Week In: Thank You for an Incredible Launch!

One week in: thank you!Esports Manager 2026 has been out for just over a week, and we're blown away by the support. At its peak, more than 10,000 of you were playing at the same time. The game landed on Steam's Popular New Games list, and the launch rush was bigger than anything we'd planned for— so many of you jumped in at once. Thank you for bearing with us through the surge; seeing that many managers on day one meant the world to us. We're reading every review and every discussion here on Steam, plus all the bug reports and feedback on Discord. Most of what has shipped since launch came straight from your reports.In case you missed it. We have made four updates since launch:Patch 1.0.1 (July 7): A more alive transfer market — AI clubs now loan players to and from each other, not just buy and sell, and make smarter squad decisions. (Under the hood: loans respect player consent, regions, and limits.) Full patch notesPatch 1.0.2 (July 11): More competitive, believable matches — tighter sim pathing on every map, smarter rotations, better map bans, and reworked buy logic. Full patch notesHot-fix (July 12): Fixed retired players getting stuck on your roster — and affected saves now repair themselves automatically on load.

One Week In: Thank You for an Incredible Launch!
One week in: thank you!

Esports Manager 2026 has been out for just over a week, and we're blown away by the support. At its peak, more than 10,000 of you were playing at the same time. The game landed on Steam's Popular New Games list, and the launch rush was bigger than anything we'd planned for— so many of you jumped in at once. Thank you for bearing with us through the surge; seeing that many managers on day one meant the world to us.

We're reading every review and every discussion here on Steam, plus all the bug reports and feedback on Discord. Most of what has shipped since launch came straight from your reports.

In case you missed it. We have made four updates since launch:
  • Patch 1.0.1 (July 7): A more alive transfer market — AI clubs now loan players to and from each other, not just buy and sell, and make smarter squad decisions. (Under the hood: loans respect player consent, regions, and limits.) Full patch notes

  • Patch 1.0.2 (July 11): More competitive, believable matches — tighter sim pathing on every map, smarter rotations, better map bans, and reworked buy logic. Full patch notes

  • Hot-fix (July 12): Fixed retired players getting stuck on your roster — and affected saves now repair themselves automatically on load. Full patch notes

  • Hot-fix #2 (July 15): Fixed retired players getting stuck on your roster — and affected saves now repair themselves automatically on load. Full patch notes

About the demo

We update demo with the latest changes from release version, so take a look.

What we're working on next
  • Simulation improvements (all kind of, from movements to tactics)

  • Transfer system (on a way to make it more real)

  • Adding T3-T4 tournaments - we know it's the most asked feature

  • Creating academy - also on our radar.

  • Saves problem - some of you might experience problems with saves, we are investigating and will fix this.

  • Crashes - please ping us so we can check what happened.

Keep the feedback coming

The best places for feedback and bug reports are the Steam Discussions and our Discord. We read everything.
