If you’ve been looking forward to Football Manager 2024, you do not have to wait much longer, as the football management simulation video game has an official release date. Sega’s next instalment in the long-running Football Manager series will be hitting stores in November, which is just a couple of months away.
Moreover, a mobile version of the game will also be available to play on the giant streaming platform Netflix, as the service is really trying its hand at bringing video games to subscribers.
Football Manager 2024 will be launched for almost every major platform, including PC, Nintendo Switch, Mac, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and smartphones, on November 6.
Football Manager 2024 Is the 20th Game in a Huge Series
Football Manager has been going on for around two decades, with the first game in the long-running series, Football Manager 2005, releasing back in 2004.
Considering how the previous title, Football Manager 2023, was launched for the PlayStation 5 just earlier this year, it feels a little too sudden that the 20th game in the series, Football Manager 2024, is getting released so soon. Sega’s upcoming title also marks the first time a Football Manager game is launching in Japan.
Furthermore, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to play Football Manager 2024 through the service at launch on Xbox Series X/S and PC. Even players who game on their smartphones can get in on the action with the title’s mobile version, which will be available via Netflix.
The mobile release for the game does not come as a big surprise though, because its predecessor, Football Manager 2023, received a Touch version that was part of Apple Arcade.
The Football Manager YouTube channel shared an “Official Announce Trailer” for Football Manager 2024 just yesterday, which included an update about the game’s release date.
Accompanying the trailer is a description that tells fans to “perfect” their “tactic, search for the next wonderkid, and find” their “winning edge – because Progress Never Stops.” According to the development team, the upcoming title is the “most complete edition” of any game in the series yet.
Moreover, PC and Mac players can actually get early access to Football Manager 2024 at 10% off, if they pre-purchase the game before November 6 from Steam or Epic. You can check out the trailer here.
