Football Agent FAQ Hub

Football Agent is a single-player football agent simulation from ATERO GAMES. You run an agency, not a dressing room: you scout, you sign, you place players, and you live off commission. The database covers 44 countries, 115 leagues, 1,900 clubs, and 47,500 players down to the third tier. More than 300 rival agents work the same market. Matches for your clients run in a 2D engine with live commentary. You start with one client who has no club and €50,000 in starting cash. This hub answers the questions people ask before they buy and in the first week after they enter Steam Early Access.

This wiki is independent. It is not affiliated with ATERO GAMES. For the developer’s own words, use Steam and Discord. For a longer verdict on the current build, read the Early Access assessment. For hardware, see system requirements. For what ATERO GAMES still plans to add, see the roadmap. For what already changed in hotfixes, see patch notes. If you just bought the game and need a first-season path, start with Getting Started.

What the game is

You are a football agent. You do not pick a formation on Saturday. You find footballers, sit through talks that last in-game weeks, and try to keep promises about clubs and minutes. Club Mandates from the 27 August 2026 patch let clubs request a player; you propose from the Market and the Club Mandates panel, and ineligible proposals now explain why they failed. Playing time depends on squad place and the playing-time promise; loans now affect those minutes. Wonderkid growth that once hit a ceiling in three seasons is much slower, and no minutes still means almost no development.

The game entered Steam Early Access on 25 August 2026. ATERO GAMES has said they expect that phase to last six to twelve months. They have also said they would rather leave Early Access when the game is ready than on a fixed calendar. Treat that range as a plan, not a store countdown.

Price

The introductory Steam price is $11.99, or $10.19 with the launch discount, through 4 September 2026. After Early Access the price may rise. Nobody outside ATERO GAMES can promise the post-EA number. If you are waiting for a sale, the intro window is the known cheap stretch.

Languages

Steam lists eight languages: English, Turkish, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese (Brazil). Developer announcements have talked about seven localizations besides English. Both statements can be true at once: the store row is eight, the announcement count treats English as the base and the rest as localizations. Interface quality can still vary in Early Access; hotfixes have already chased untranslated labels.

AI disclosure

ATERO GAMES states that generative AI was used for some 2D art and for store and in-game localization. That work is reviewed by the developer. Generative AI is not used during play — it does not pick your clients, run the 2D matches, or decide Club Mandates. If that distinction matters to you, you have it in writing here and on the store page.

Platform, saves, and sharing

Football Agent is Windows only. There is no Mac or Linux build in the current Steam configuration. You can save at any time. Steam Family Sharing is supported, so a library share can run the game under the usual Steam rules. There is no multiplayer mode. You cannot invite a friend to run a second agency in your save.

Hardware in brief

Minimum: Windows 10 (64-bit), dual-core 2.0 GHz (Core i3 or AMD equivalent), 4 GB RAM, integrated graphics at Intel HD 520 class, DirectX 11, 1 GB of space. Recommended: Windows 11 (64-bit), quad-core 2.5 GHz (Core i5 or equivalent), 8 GB RAM, Intel Iris Xe class or better, DirectX 12, still about 1 GB, with 1920×1080 as the layout sweet spot. The download is small by sports-sim standards. The 2D engine does not need a dedicated graphics card. Full tables live on the system requirements page.

Bugs, Discord, and data packs

Report bugs from inside the game: Settings > Help. You can also post on the Steam hub or the developer Discord. Early Access means things will break; the first hotfixes already covered event popups that could lock a broke agency, match-engine offsides, and development speed.

Community data and name-pack import exists so you can load custom leagues and player names. Treat packs as unofficial. A bad pack can confuse a database that already holds 47,500 players. Keep a spare save before you import.

How to use this hub

If the question is “should I buy during Early Access”, pair this page with the Early Access assessment. If the question is “will my laptop run it”, use system requirements. If the question is “what is coming”, use the roadmap and patch notes. If the question is “what do I click on day one”, use Getting Started.

Keep this page as a pin, not as scripture. Prices, language rows, and hotfix dates move. When ATERO GAMES posts the next Steam note, check the patch log first, then come back here if a store-page fact has shifted. The independent wiki will follow the store and the announcements — it will not pretend to be the studio.
