Football Manager 25 will launch globally on November 26 on PC, PS5 and Xbox. The Xbox and PC version will also be available again through Xbox Game Pass.
The Football Manager 25 Touch version for Nintendo Switch is also on the way, but will launch a little later on December 3. More information is promised “in the coming weeks.”
Developer Sports Interactive says it's been a “record year” for the football sim, with “more than 14 million players” across all platforms, and the move to Unity marks the “biggest technical and visual breakthrough for the game.” series in generation”.
Unfortunately, the new trailer included above doesn't offer much gameplay footage, but the 2025 iteration will feature a revamped UI, women's soccer, improved graphical fidelity, and “new volumetric player animations taken from real soccer matches.”
SI says “stay tuned” to their social channels as more details will be coming soon. Pre-order now (although it's only available on PC/Mac for now; PS5 and Xbox pre-orders will launch “at a later date”) and you'll get a 10 percent discount. Don't forget that Football Manager 25 Mobile is also scheduled to launch on the same day exclusively on Netflix.
