Epic Games Store has spotlighted GOALS, a new free-to-play soccer game focused on fast matches, unique player cards, squad building, progression, and competitive online play.
Epic Games Store has published a new feature on GOALS, a free-to-play soccer game from developer-publisher GOALS. The article was published on June 4, 2026, just ahead of the 2026 World Cup, and frames the game around building a unique team, improving player stats, and competing on ranked leaderboards.
The official GOALS site describes the game as a gameplay-first football title built for free-to-play, cross-play, multiplayer-focused competition, and esports. Its pitch centers on responsive play, skill-based matches, and a team-building structure where every squad is meant to feel distinct.
On Steam, GOALS is listed as a free-to-play sports game released on June 4, 2026, with online PvP, cross-platform multiplayer, in-app purchases, and chance-based in-game purchases. The store description says players build squads with unique footballers who can grow, peak, and eventually retire, creating a live-service progression loop around team management.
The current mode list includes 1v1 and Solo vs AI, with 2v2 and 5v5 marked as coming soon on the Steam listing. Pricing beyond the free-to-play base game depends on optional in-game purchases; Epic’s article does not confirm a paid upfront version.
