New esports management simulation game Esports Manager 2026 has launched its first demo as part of the Steam Sports Fest.
Featuring several esports organisations from across the world, the demo aims to provide players with ‘an authentic look’ into the operations of an esports organisation.
According to a release, the demo allows players to experience one in-game month, including player recruitment, roster changes, and contract negotiations. Additionally, players can watch matches through a semi-3D match engine that details various elements, including utility usage and map picks.
Alongside featuring the likes of Eternal Fire, GamerLegion, and M80, Esports Manager 2026 also includes several notable personalities, including event host James Banks, Counter-Strike commentator Neo ‘Ne0kai‘ Caine, and Counter-Strike coach Bruno ‘BIT‘ Lima.
