Ahead of its official release next month, FM 23 Beta is now available for access, and here’s how you can get it.
Your journey to virtual footballing glory begins now as Football Manager 2023 Beta is now available to play early on Steam and the Epic Games Store* exclusively for PC/MAC users.
However, Early Access via the Microsoft Store will follow at a later date.
What this means is that, if you’ve pre-purchased from a SEGA-approved digital retailer, FM23 Beta is now fully playable.
You can now begin a single-player managerial career or battle for bragging rights with your friends in an Online Career, Fantasy Draft, or even the FMFC-exclusive Versus mode.
As with previous editions, any progress made in Career mode can be carried forward when your game updates to the full release on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
However, FM23 is still available for pre-purchase, with 20% off and Beta Early Access, up until full release.

FM23 Beta: What to Expect
FM23 is still one of the most authentic and immersive soccer manager simulation titles till date and experienced players will notice some new features, game upgrades and optimizations as soon as they get right into it.
However, SEGA has also reminded fans that this Beta version is not the full game.
As such, users may encounter some bugs and glitches which the developers will also be working tirelessly to fix before the full release.
Regardless, if you find any issues while playing the Beta version, you can use the Report Bug button located on the in-game sidebar. You can also log them on FM 23’s community forums.
The Store, Steam Workshop and both the Pre and In-Game Editor are not available in the Beta version.
Meanwhile, Early Access versions of the game may go live at different times on different platforms.
