FM23_BLOG_1034x600_GRAPHIC_FM23 Announce News Story_UECL.jpg

Get closer to the beautiful game than ever before in Football Manager 2023, which will be available across an unprecedented array of platforms and devices from Tuesday, November 8th. Alongside releases on PC/Mac, Xbox, Nintendo Switch™, App Store and Google Play, Football Manager will also be debuting on Apple Arcade and on PlayStation 5.

FM will make its debut on home PlayStation consoles with Football Manager 2023 Console launching on PS5. 

Another exciting development will see our Touch series return to Apple devices after a year’s absence as Football Manager 2023 Touch joins the Apple Arcade catalogue. For the first time on iPhone, FM players will get to experience our acclaimed 3D Match Engine, which in turn will also be available to Apple Arcade subscribers on iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Full feature information and functionality will be revealed in October. In the meantime, you can learn more about Football Manager on Apple Arcade and visit Apple Arcade via the App Store to set up a reminder notification for when the game is available.

Newly renamed for this season to coincide with our maiden launch on PS5, FM23 Console will once again be available with Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC from Day One on November 8th. Xbox Game Pass for PC subscribers will also be able to experience the full simulation experience of FM23. Pre-order details for FM23 Console on all platforms will be revealed in early October.

New Features and Game Upgrades

New features and licensing updates for FM23 on PC/Mac will start to arrive in late September, while news of game upgrades and innovations across other platforms will be unveiled in October. Follow @footballmanager across social media to stay ahead of the game and sign up to FMFC, our exclusive free-to-join members’ hub, to receive exclusive game news ahead of the public announcements.

Early Access on PC/Mac

Pre-purchase FM23 (Steam/Epic/Microsoft Store) before November 8th from any participating digital retailer* to bag a 20% discount and the Early Access version of the game, which is typically available two weeks before the street release date.**

Fans purchasing physical copies of FM23 will notice that this year’s edition does not include a disc. Instead, every pack contains a unique code that, once redeemed, enables play via Steam, Epic Games or the Microsoft Store.

Removing the disc and notebook from this year’s edition, in addition to further refinements to our eco-packaging, means that the overall carbon footprint for FM23’s packaging is 47% lower than FM22’s. All in all, the overall gCO2 equivalent of the Football Manager packaging has fallen from 256 for Football Manager 2019 to just 66 for FM23.

Handheld titles return for the new season

Football Manager 2023 Mobile (iOS/Android) will kick off another successful campaign on November 8th.

FM23 Mobile will be available for pre-order on the App Store and pre-registration on Google Play from early October. By pre-ordering FM23 Mobile on iOS, you’ll own the game and be able to play immediately upon release. For Android users, FM23 Mobile pre-registration means you’ll be notified when the game is available.

Completing the line-up is Football Manager 2023 Touch on Nintendo Switch™, which will be available from November 8th.

Don’t Build a Team. Create a Dynasty

In Football Manager 2023, you get closer than ever to every aspect of the beautiful game, with feedback from everyone from the supporters that live and breathe every match to your board, scouts, players, and even opposition managers. Earn the backing of the fans by outsmarting your rivals and delivering success on the pitch.

 

 

*Early Access is available from SEGA-approved digital retailers only. Please check to see if the store you’re purchasing from is participating in the offer.
**The Early Access version may go live at different times on different platforms.

@Desmond Richardson Is there any chance that this year's 'console' version for PC via Gamepass will allow you to import tactics files in a way that last year's version annoyingly did not. It's far from unplayable, but some of the file management stuff has made this move from Touch for PC essentially a downgrade for PC based players who don't like 'full fat'.

Am I right in thinking as it’s a paid subscription on Apple Arcade that all unlockables will be free as I read something that the £5 a month covers All in game purchases? @Desmond Richardson

More details to follow as and when they're available. Keep your eyes on our social channels to keep up-to-date.

Not sure I see the answer to my question about importing tactics into console for GamePass on pc version in this thread about android users being left out…

It says all features will be announced in October till then because of NDAs they cannot comment. Till the day they are legally allowed

Hi @Desmond Richardson - is it time yet to be able to find out about whether we can - this year - import tactics files into console for PC version (unlike last year)? Thanks.

You can't import tactics within the Console version.

Thanks for replying.

Why is that? This function used to exist in Touch for PC? I just don’t get why it’s not possible to do (after a year of feedback that some players would like it) for the console version for PC when it’s basically the same game as Touch for PC was, and when it runs on the same machines and through GamePass like full fat does, on which this is possible. Very disappointing and sadly not in the least bit surprising (though not your fault of course).

Reminds me of all the little bugs I’d find and report for Touch on PC (I was even asked to test the game before release a couple of years back) only to find that not only would they not be fixed in-year, but they’d still be there in the next version a year later. Not quite the same thing but still…

The reason behind this is Xbox Play Anywhere. This allows users to seamlessly play across all their devices. This is why all saved games are cloud based. Therefore, it isn't possible to upload custom files.

This is the same for Apple Arcade too.

Hi SI,

 

Does the pre-purchase on Steam include the In-game Editor and the Pre-game Editor? Thank you.

 

EDIT: Pls ignore as I've found the answer. Thanks and apologies for the inconvenience.

That's okay - I'm glad you found the answer.

So, it makes sense that Xbox and Apple aren't getting mods because of those technical limitations, but what about PS5? 

PlayStation allows mods (Pro Evolution Soccer made a great use of them, which was part of its success, and Efootball will in the future). So are you going to allow PS5 users to use some mods (like kits, faces, logos... Realnames...)?

Wondering if you are going to let us use the content community creates (or at least some of it) or we won't be able to enjoy it. 

Thanks

No, it's not possible I'm afraid as we aim for a consistent gameplay experience across consoles and devices that support Console/Touch. 

The mod aspects you mention have certain implications that console couldn't allow due to various technical limitations anyway.

They are separate retailers (Steam and Apple) so separate purchases.
