GOALS – Join the Xbox Insider Playtest Starting Today!

Okay, so maybe I’m just a bit hyped, but who isn’t when it’s JOGO Festival time? Seriously, if you’re into fast-paced PvP football, today’s your day! GOALS is doing its thing on Xbox Series X|S, and it sounds like a total blast. I mean, I got sucked in just reading about it.

Right, where was I? Oh yeah. So, GOALS — it’s all about that responsive feel. You know when the game hits just right and feels almost like the real thing? That’s what they’re going for. Free-to-play too, which is cool. You build your club, your squad… basically, you try to be the king or queen of the field. Not gonna lie, I sorta dig that idea.

Feeling nosy? Hit up the GOALS Official Website. Or if you’re feeling chatty and want to hang out, hop into their Discord. Maybe you’re like me, always lurking but rarely talking. Who knows?

Anyway, if you’re dying to dive in, here’s what you do: Fire up your trusty Xbox Series X|S and head to the Xbox Insider Hub app. Didn’t install it yet? Get on that! Once you’re in, look for Previews > GOALS and smash that join button. Then comes the waiting game before you can install the GOALS Alpha. Hurry though — spaces are tight. Like sardines in a can tight.

So, what if things don’t go perfectly? Got problems? Do the whole “hold the home button” dance on the Xbox controller and report it. Games category, GOALS Alpha subcategory — fill out the form. Easy, peasy. Or at least, it sounds simple. Maybe it’s not? You tell me.

Oh, and if you’re hunting for more info, you can always stalk them on X/Twitter @XboxInsider. Or go collective brainpower mode on the Xbox Insider SubReddit.

Enough about that. I’m off to try and squeeze into the playtest myself—wish me luck!
