Maximum Football is a competitive football sim built in Unreal Engine 5 with an emphasis on realism, and it's playable for the first time right now as part of Steam Next Fest from today until June 17.

The Beta was released alongside a new trailer that announced Maximum Football's release date as Q3 2024 when it will launch into Steam Early Access. You can check out the trailer below:

The Steam Next Fest Beta will allow you to play as two of the many teams in the game in one of the most pristine stadiums, you'll also be able to modify your team with Maximum Football’s robust customization features including various body types, uniform options, pads and more.

As I stated earlier, Maximum Football is built using Unreal Engine 5 and has a heavy emphasis on using physics to create a realistic simulation of football, every tackle, pass, block, and catch relies on a lifelike physics engine to determine the outcome, empowering players to fully control the game.

If you're interested, you can participate in the Beta by heading over to Steam to download it. The developers would love to know what you think about the game.
