    For people that bought is through Epic Games, is there any way to get pre game editor? Because there isn't in the Epic Store.

    @scorpio: The pregame editor is currently bugged and crashes with certain functions. That seems to be one of them.

    @GORT: Update FM23 first. Then restart Steam and you should see the editor in your Steam library (ensure "Tools" is checked).
