For years, the Football Manager series has offered soccer fans a more in-depth way to engage with the sport virtually than most soccer games, and this year’s installment, Football Manager 2021, will be bringing that club-management action to more platforms than usual.
After announcing a slight delay for Football Manager 2021 earlier this year, Sega has announced that the game is now set to launch for PC on November 24. This version is now available for pre-order on Steam and the Epic Games Store, and in addition to offering a 10% discount, pre-ordering FM21 will provide buyers with two weeks of early access ahead of launch day.
The PC version won’t be the only version, however. Sega has confirmed that the game will also be coming to Xbox sometime in December in a console-specific version, marking the first time the series has been on Microsoft’s console since 2007. What’s more, the Xbox Edition of Football Manager 2021 will be a Play Anywhere title, meaning a single purchase will allow buyers to play the game on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Windows 10 PCs and transfer their saves across all platforms.
Rounding off the different versions of Football Manager 2021, Sega confirmed that Touch and Mobile versions of the game (something Football Manager 2020 introduced last year) will be coming to the Nintendo Switch as well as iOS and Androids devices. The publisher was more vague here, saying only that FM21 Touch will be released for the Switch in December, but it did state that details regarding the other platforms will be revealed early next month.
Football Manager 2021 will launch for PC on November 24, followed by Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch releases in December. A version for iOS and Android is also in development.
