Football Manager 2026 Debuts at No. 1 in Europe With Series’ Biggest First Week

Early Steam reviews skew negative following the series’ year-long engine reboot.

Overview

  • GSD data for the week ending November 9 places Football Manager 2026 first in both unit-sales and revenue across Europe.
  • The opening week is the strongest for the franchise since GSD began publishing weekly charts in 2017.
  • Steam user sentiment currently shows a “Mostly Negative” rating shortly after launch.
  • Reported figures exclude Xbox and PC Game Pass play, so overall audience reach is not fully captured.
  • Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launched well below its 2020 predecessor, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 returned to the top 10 after a 40% discount and new DLC.
