You can report bugs or share suggestions on the game Discord server: https://discord.gg/bKz7CU2gWuWhat’s next?In addition to this 3rd update, we are working on several major areas:Planning: We believe the new system brings a lot in terms of interest, accessibility and modernity, particularly for players discovering the game. Evolving the game systems is part of what we want for PCM, and the foundations provided by this new system will also allow us to take things further with future improvements.

• Race-day Condition Communication - 17 August 2026

  Dear players,We know many of you have been asking for a detailed explanation of how Race-day Condition works in PCM26, as well as the reasoning and vision behind the system. We also want to apologize for not sharing these explanations sooner.The development team has taken the time to clarify the choices behind the new system, how it differs from previous versions, and what we are considering for its future.VisionBefore explaining some of the choices behind this system, it is important to outline the vision we have for it.The purpose of the Race-day Condition (RDC) system is quite simple: it aims to serve two objectives:To represent a realistic, but also somewhat romantic, aspect of sport: the human body is not a machine. Even though modern cycling can sometimes make us forget this due to the dominance of certain riders, nothing is ever guaranteed in advance. To win a race against more t…

This can still occur naturally when a Season Programme is heavily used, as the number of available slots for a given race is limited.Bug fix: when using the Groups or S…

• Update about the workshop! - 9 June 2026

  Hello everyone, First of all, we would like to once again thank you for your understanding regarding the roughly ten-day delay to the release of Pro Cycling Manager 26. As we previously explained, delays during development meant that issues related to scheduling in Career Mode were identified late during the final testing phases. Resolving these issues required several additional adjustments to ensure a more stable experience from launch. These issues have now been fixed. We would also like to warmly thank our beta players and content creators who helped us identify, reproduce, and validate these fixes. Regarding mods and databases, their availability on the Workshop will begin on Monday, June 22. This decision is based on our experience from recent Pro Cycling Manager launches. During the first few days after release, it was often difficult to distinguish between issues caused by the g…

• DevBlog - Detailed Simulation - 30 April 2026

  Hello everyone,Welcome to this second Devblog for Pro Cycling Manager 26!Today, we're going to dive into a central element of your gaming experience: the simulation of races.Simulation: Going Fast… or Being Faithful?As a reminder, simulation is an alternative way to get the result of a race in an instant, without going through the 3D race.This is an essential feature in PCM: during a career, you can compete in several thousand stages, and not all of them necessarily need to be played manually.The simulation is automatically used for races outside your calendar, but it can also allow you to progress more quickly through your game.Behind this feature, the same dilemma always lurks:Prioritizing speedPrioritizing realismUp until PCM 25, we had chosen an instantaneous simulation, primarily designed to offer an immediate result. It's not that the other approach didn't interest us, but as is o…
