GOALS – Join the Xbox Insider Playtest Today!

You know that feeling when you wake up and just want to dive headfirst into action? Well, guess what, now you can do that with this wild PvP football thing called the JOGO Festival in GOALS! Yeah, no push-ups required. Just grab your Xbox Series X|S, log in, and suddenly you’re in some crazy football showdown. Challenges, rewards, and probably a whole lot of chaos. Honestly, it’s like no other. And maybe that’s the point—isn’t football meant to be a beautiful mess?

Let’s chat about GOALS for a hot sec. It’s this free-to-play, super intense multiplayer game—a bit like football if football was on epic steroids. You’re developing clubs, building up a squad, and just flat-out proving you know how to own the pitch. Kind of makes you wanna leap out of your seat, doesn’t it? Oh, and they’re setting up for esports, which sounds pretty official. Curious? You might want to click your way over to their website. Or, maybe you’re more of the “hang out and debate tactics with some randoms” kind of person. In that case, hit up their Discord. You’ll find someone to argue about the offside rule, I bet.

Here’s how you jump in: grab your Xbox Series X|S and get yourself the Xbox Insider Hub app. If you haven’t got it, zip over to the Store, download it, and poke around in ‘Previews’. Find GOALS, smash that ‘Join’ button, wait a sec—grab a snack, maybe—and bam, you’re in the Store downloading the GOALS Alpha. Spaces are limited though, so don’t nap too long on this one.

Oh yeah, Xbox Series X|S exclusive, by the way. Feel special yet?

Now, if you hit a snag—like your player does a backflip when they’re supposed to be scoring—there’s this “Report a problem” thing. Press the home button, go to ‘Report a problem’, pick ‘Games’, and then find GOALS Alpha. They’ve got a form for all your issues, real customer service vibes. Help them help you, right?

Where was I? Right, if you’re the info-hungry type, follow @XboxInsider on X/Twitter for all the latest crumbs of info, or find your tribe on the Xbox Insider SubReddit. Your couch isn’t the only thing that’s got your back.

Anyway—no, seriously—why are you still here? Get playing! Who knows what kind of spectacular disaster might unfold on the virtual pitch today?
