Look, let us be honest for a moment. Freestyle Football 2, a brand-new football game developed by Joycity's subsidiary WooRee, has managed to secure the number one spot in the sports category for anticipated Steam releases at the North American gaming convention PAX West 2026. Across all genres, the title climbed to a respectable eleventh place.

Freestyle Football 2 earned its spot on the 'PAX Featured' list of anticipated releases unveiled on Steam for PAX West 2026. Grabbing the top spot in the sports category and eleventh overall, the title clearly demonstrates a rather high level of anticipation from global gamers.

Joycity rolled out a dedicated playable booth for Freestyle Football 2 at this year's PAX West, showing off the game directly to fans from around the world. On the show floor, the developer highlighted the core fun of the game by focusing on intuitive action based on controlling a single character per player alongside five-versus-five team play, giving attendees a solid chance to try it out for themselves.

In addition, an open beta test was held for global users, allowing players to experience the game online as well. Joycity plans to gather feedback from users across the board and focus on polishing the overall quality ahead of the official launch.

Park Jun-seung, head of the strategic business division at Joycity, shared thoughts on the matter: "We are quite chuffed to achieve such a meaningful milestone as the number one anticipated sports title at a global gaming show like PAX West." Park added, "Based on the invaluable feedback sent in by players through both the on-site event and the open beta test, we will continue to elevate the polish of the game all the way up to its official release."

Freestyle Football 2 is being crafted by the original development team behind the online sports game Freestyle series who have reunited for the project. The game is scheduled for a global release on PC via Steam and console platforms in the fourth quarter of 2026. Adieu, mate!
