World of Football

World of Football entered Steam Early Access on November 20, 2024 and remains explicitly in that state — the game is openly presented as an unfinished product still under active development. The developer has maintained a consistent and frequent update cadence since launch. On November 1, 2024, ahead of launch, they announced a deliberate shift from a free-to-play model to a paid game, stating it would "allow us to expand our team, ensure the long-term health of the project, and deliver even more content with higher quality" — a clear long-term commitment. Since Early Access began, the team has shipped a steady stream of substantive feature updates. Major additions include: matchmaking and an in-game cosmetics store at launch (November 20, 2024), a full replay system in beta and new spectator camera modes (March 10, 2026), a new "First Touch" gameplay mechanic and vertical spin shooting (June 17, 2026), a playable Beginner Tutorial with more tutorial levels explicitly promised for future updates (August 6, 2026), and team-based voice chat with full settings (August 7, 2026). As of today, August 13, 2026, a further patch (0.17.1.0) was released, confirming the developer is actively working on the game right up to the current date. The game is at version 0.17, well short of a 1.0 release. The August 6, 2026 patch notes explicitly state that "Intermediate, Advanced, and Pro tutorials will be added in future updates," confirming ongoing development plans. There is no indication from the developer that development is winding down or nearing completion.
