Valve, alongside its business partner in China, Perfect World, has given us an update on the progress of Steam China today, after both companies had been silent on the topic for over a year. Eurogamer attended the brief presentation, given by Perfect World CEO Dr. Robert H. Xiao in Shanghai, where a small number of local and international press were told the companies were "one more step closer" to launching Steam China, which will be separate from the international version of Steam. A handful of launch games were revealed, including Dota 2 and Dota Underlords. There were no actual launch date

We've just released update 19.3.5 for Football Manager 2019 which targets some performance and stability issues. The game should automatically begin to update next time you launch Steam.

The latest Football Manager is the most accessible yet. Which means less stressing over incremental tweaks, stats and numbers, and more scope to channel your energy in a completely different direction. This season, play it as it was intended (by me) to be played: with a dash of live-action roleplay. Whether you re a tracksuit coach or a three-piece supervisor, the world s most comprehensive soccer management sim is best enjoyed when taken really, really seriously. (more…)

I knew real-life football teams used Football Manager to help scout players. Even managers, such as current Manchester United darling Ole Gunnar Solskj r, have said they've used the famous football management sim to help them out in real-life.

It revolves around keeper Kai Mckenzie-Lyle, who, with a little help from a Football Man

If Joe's glowing review wasn't enough to make you pick up Football Manager 2019, which came out this week, then you can now play half a season for free in a newly-released demo. The demo will let you quick start seasons for a number of different leagues, and your save file will carry over to the full game, should you decide to purchase it.  Joe said it's the best ever in the series, with plenty of new headline features. I'm intrigued by the overhauled tactics system, which sounds like it manages to give you more control of your squad—particularly over what they
