*Football Manager 2013 Pre-Order Beta Now Live*

[Neil Brock]

For those of you that have pre-ordered FM13 from the participating retailers listed on our website, you are now able to download the beta version of Football Manager 2013 from Steam using the code provided to you when you pre-ordered. As always, you will need to have downloaded Steam and created an account – if you haven’t done that yet, you can do so here.

Once you’ve launched and logged into Steam, follow these instructions:

1. On the top toolbar, click ‘Games’

2. From the drop down, select ‘Activate a Product on Steam’

3. Follow the instructions to input your code and install the FM13 beta

If you pre-ordered in a participating store, you should have been given an FM13 branded card, that will have your unique code printed on its reverse. If you pre-ordered online, for a boxed copy to be delivered then you will have been emailed your code. If you pre-ordered a digital download then your code will have been sent to you via email.

If you pre-ordered through Steam the beta should already be in your games Library, so just right-click on it and select Install Game.

If you’ve pre-ordered the game and not got your code, then please check with your chosen retailer at point of purchase. If you have any other questions about the pre-order, please check the FAQ.

We hope you enjoy the beta of FM13 and thank you to all those that pre-ordered. Remember, this is not the finished version of the game, and certain aspects may change or be updated in time for full release on November 2nd.

If you encounter any issues when running the game we suggest using the Technical FAQ which can be found here - Technical FAQ
