It may seem unbelievable - and to be honest we're still getting our heads around it too - but the greatest video game of all time is indeed ready to play for the princely sum of £0.00.

To celebrate Football Manager making its debut on the Epic Games Store, Sports Interactive have decided to make the game free to own. As long as you download FM20 before 4pm BST on 24 September, it will be yours to keep forever.

What’s more, it’s got cross network play on Steam. This means you can go head-to-head with any of your mates who already have the game in a seamless multiplayer experience.

We've got a shiny new website at @90min_Football so, naturally, the first thing I wrote about was FM regens and in-game glitches.

Also, if you’ve already got your FM20 career underway you can pick off right where you left off on Epic. All you have to do is click Load Game on the start screen and all of your data will be there. Lovely.

If you have already have an Epic Games account, simply follow this link and start your download. If you haven't signed up with Epic, creating an account is simple and easy - certainly easier than convincing your 22-year-old striker to stay when Paris Saint-Germain come in for him for the 17th time.

If you are lacking inspiration, as to how to get started on FM20, check out these incredibly fun (and incredibly difficult) challenges. Those looking for an easier ride (cowards), should instead head over to our list of 100 FM wonderkids.

Happy playing everyone!
