Xbox Insider Playtest for GOALS Launches Today!

Alright, so, um… football fans, you know how you’re always itching for something new? Well, there’s this JOGO Festival thing kicking off today in GOALS! It’s all about PvP football madness. Yeah, it’s happening on Xbox Series X|S and you can dive in through the Xbox Insider Playtest. Imagine this: you’re up against others, tackling challenges, snagging unique rewards. A bit like a footie love letter, or maybe not. Who knows?

Okay, deep breath, some background. So, GOALS — what’s up with it? It’s a game that screams "gameplay first!" You know those free-to-play, multiplayer, esports-ready games? That’s GOALS for you. They’re crafting it to give you that football feels — crisp, responsive, and all. It’s about nurturing your club, assembling your dream team, and just owning the field. I mean, that’s the goal, right? (No pun intended. Or maybe yes? Eh.)

Craving more deets? Hop onto the GOALS website. Or feeling social? There’s a Discord waiting for you. See where I’m going with this?

Now, how do you jump into this whole fiesta? Fire up your Xbox Series X|S, head into the Xbox Insider Hub (might need a quick download from the Store first if you’re new to this). Go to Previews, tap on GOALS, smash the Join button. It’s a simple waiting game for that registration to ping you to the Store for the GOALS Alpha download. Just a heads-up: it’s a bit exclusive, first come, first served. Keep your fingers crossed, yeah?

And hey, if something’s off during your play — we’re talking glitches or hiccups — hit up the “Report a problem.” Easy steps: hold the home button, choose Report a problem, zero in on Games, GOALS Alpha, and spill the beans on what’s up.

Oh yeah, stay in the loop — follow them on X/Twitter at @XboxInsider. Their blog’s got announcements too. Don’t be a stranger, chat with folks on the Xbox Insider SubReddit.

So there it is. Dive in, have a blast, and keep it chaotic.
