What is FM21 BETA - Release Date
FM2020's BETA version of the game was released two weeks before the official date, November 4th, so we can expect from FM 21 BETA to be no exception to this rule.
So now as we know that the official release date of FM2021 is November 24th, FM21 BETA will most likely drop on the November 10th, which is Tuesday, as we mentioned earlier.
What is FM21 Beta?
Football Manager 2021 Beta, or the Early Access edition of the game is to simply put it a reward for the most loyal fans of the franchise who pre-order FM21 before its official release date in November.
No matter what time you pre-order the game, if it is before the 24th November you will get instant access to the BETA version of the game.
Also, don't let the name BETA fool you into thinking that this is not a complete, finished, version of the game because it is, well let's say 99% finished.
What it makes it different from the version of the game that will get released later in November is the number of bugs that you might encounter during the gameplay.
Also, with the feedback from the players during the two week BETA period, there will be changes made to the club drafts that the developers of the game might have overlooked as well as to other areas of the game, such as GUI, 3D match engine etc.
Once the 24th November arrives, your BETA version of the game will simply update itself automatically next time you open Steam or Epic Store platform.
It's definitely worth pre-ordering the game as not only that you will play the game itself earlier, but also you will grab a nice discount on your purchase.
