First Person Football just got a major gameplay update
Yesterday we released First Person Football, and the response from this community was amazing.
We read your comments, watched your gameplay, listened to the feedback and spent the last hours working on the things you pointed out.
Today, we're already releasing a major gameplay update.
And let's start with something completely new:
🏟️ YOU CAN NOW WALK OUT ONTO THE PITCH IN FIRST PERSON.
The new Walkout POV lets you experience the tunnel, line-up, anthem and handshakes through the eyes of a player.
When the game cuts to the stadium, crowd or aerial shots, the original camera takes over. When it cuts back to the players, you're back inside the player's perspective.
You can even switch players with Ctrl+F6/F7 and use Quick Look during the walkout.
But we didn't just add new features. We made major adjustments to the actual gameplay.
🏃 New curved movement
The left stick now follows the rotation of your player's body more naturally. You can run in continuous curves without releasing the stick — even around the center circle, with or without the ball.
👀 Quick Look
Hold LB/L1 + Right Stick to look around while you keep running. Release it and your view returns to center.
👟 Look down with L3
Click L3 to smoothly lock your view toward your feet and the ball. Click again to look up. You can also use a mode that automatically tracks the ball.
🎮 Optional Steering Mode
A new control option where up/down moves your player and left/right turns them.
📹 GoPro HERO13 Black lens presets
Choose between Linear, Wide, SuperView and HyperView perspectives.
⚽ First-person set pieces
Throw-ins, free kicks, goal kicks, corners and penalties can all be played in first person.
🎯 Much better player detection
We reworked how First Person Football identifies the player you're controlling.
A teammate running in the same direction should no longer steal your camera. The camera only switches when your current player stops responding to your input, detection resets between matches, and referees and linesmen are excluded.
If you activate First Person during a replay, walkout, halftime or another scene, it now waits for live gameplay and activates automatically when the ball starts rolling.
First Person Football v1.6 is available now and completely FREE.
This update exists because people here actually played the first release, told us what worked, what didn't and what they wanted to see next.
We listened. We went back to work. And this is the result.

Games deserve new perspectives.
