Football Manager 2021 release date has been announced. Sports Interactive's next football simulation title will arrive before the end of the year - you can find out exactly when in this guide - and it's not limited to the usual platforms.
FM 2021 has only been available on PC and Mac since 2007. However, the critically acclaimed management game is coming to other systems. The last Football Manager game that was ported to consoles was FM 2007, which was released on the Xbox 360. So it seems reasonable to assume that FM 2021 will arrive on Xbox One and Xbox Series X. So this year's entry into will the franchise launch on Microsoft's current and next-gen consoles?
Yes, FM 2021 is coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One. This was confirmed in the trailer for the game's announcement, which was uploaded to Football Manager's official YouTube channel. The Xbox version of FM 2021 will be released by the end of the year, but there is no official release date yet. Once we know more, we'll update this guide.
The Xbox version of FM 2021 will be known as Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition. The port will be a specially adapted version, which has been modeled on the Football Manager Touch series for mobile devices. FM 2021 Xbox Edition has been completely customized to work with an Xbox controller. So you don't need to plug in a mouse and keyboard to play.
FM 2021 will also be an Xbox Play Anywhere title. This means that no matter which version you purchase, you can play your save game on the Xbox console and Windows 10 computers. More information on FM 2021 Xbox Edition will be announced in early November.
