GOALS – Xbox Insider Playtest Now Available!

Okay, so picture this: You’re itching for some lightning-fast football action, right? Well, the JOGO Festival just kicked off in GOALS! Yeah, you can dive right into this PvP football bonanza on Xbox. It’s all happening now on Xbox Series X|S. Seriously, it’s like, can you taste the adrenaline? Or is it just me imagining the virtual grass beneath my feet – anyway.

So, GOALS. What’s the deal? It’s this whole gameplay-first, kind of free-to-play, like, multiplayer-focused, esports-ready football extravaganza. Still under wraps, but the word on the street is it’s supposed to really “feel” like football. Whatever that means. I guess you build your club, gather your gang, and show off your mad skills on the pitch. Honestly, I don’t know why I care, but I do.

Oh, and if you’re like, super curious, there’s the GOALS Official Website to snoop around. Or hey, maybe just want to chat or chill? Hit up their Discord – that’s what the cool kids do, I think.

Anyway, jumping in is easy… or so they say. Log into your Xbox Series X|S, fire up the Xbox Insider Hub – assuming you’ve got it; otherwise, trek to the Store. Previews > GOALS, then smash that Join button. Now, wait like you’re on hold with customer service, and then boom, you’re off to the Store to grab the GOALS Alpha.

Quick heads up – spots are limited, and it’s some kinda first-come, first-served situation. Oh, and yeah, Xbox Series X|S only. Sorry, PS folks.

And if things go wonky – like, controllers decide to have a mind of their own – there’s this neat “Report a problem” feature. Just cling to that home button (it’s your friend now), tag the problem in the Games > GOALS Alpha section, and spill the beans. Whoever they are, they care, supposedly.

Stay in the loop by following us on X/Twitter @XboxInsider, or lurking on the blog. The Xbox Insider SubReddit is a thing too. Chat, rant, whatever. I dunno, maybe I’ll see you there.
