- Workshop Spotlight - Club World Cup - 22 December 2025
We’d like to give a special shout-out to AdriRa23 for their new Workshop release: Club World Cup — all teams and tournament. This community-made item brings together Club World Cup team names, visual identity (flags/colors), and squad setups into a single tournament package that fits naturally inside Pixel Cup Soccer. Why we like it: Projects like this demonstrate how Workshop content can extend the game experience by adding alternative competitions and team setups that are quick to subscribe to and play. If you want a fresh tournament to jump into or a new way to test club lineups, this is a good example of Workshop work done with attention to presentation and playability. Try it now: • Subscribe to the Workshop item and launch the game — the tournament will be available from the Tournament / Cups menu. • Want to browse more community content?

- Maintenance Update - 28 May 2024
CPU controlled matches As requested by some users, we have made a change: now the player's team does not change its strategy during the match when it is set to be controlled by the CPU. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug where if a player stumbled during a penalty kick and the ball went out of the soccer field, a goal kick was not awarded. Fixed a bug in the injured player hint displayed at halftime, which sometimes could not be closed, forcing an exit from the game. Thank! :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1620540/Pixel_Cup_Soccer__Ultimate_Edition/
- New Cup and More! - 2 May 2024
Africa Cup of Nations Cup We've added this new, fulfilling a request from several users who have been asking for it! :) Improvements Tutorial Match We've made several improvements to the tutorial match in the "How to Play" section, hoping to assist newcomers in taking their first steps in the game! Penalties We've made a minor improvement to the penalty kick system. Now, the player won't fall without kicking the ball when the timing is incorrect... they may still fall if the timing isn't good, but they'll still kick the ball! Bugs We've fixed 2 bugs that were recently reported: During a penalty kick, sometimes the goalkeeper would remain waiting for the ball after it was kicked. Although this happened very sporadically, it was quite annoying to have to exit the game to fix it, as abandoning the match would result in a loss. In a recent update, an error was introduced that prevented the…
