FM27 Free Play: How to install via Xbox Game Pass

Football Manager 27’s Free Play Launch Preview is available via Xbox.com and the Xbox PC app until 3 November.

If you are a PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you will be able to continue playing the FM27 Launch Preview from 3 November, ahead of the full launch on 10 November.
