For the first time in the history of the series, the depth and drama of the world’s leading football management simulation series arrives on PS5. Tailored to the Dualsense controller, FM23 Console will release alongside the PC/Mac title.

After a year’s absence, the Touch series returns to Apple devices through the Apple Arcade platform. Whether they’re using an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV, Apple Arcade subscribers will be primed to make their mark on and off the pitch in FM23 Touch. 

FM23 thrusts fans closer to every aspect of the beautiful game, from the supporters filling the stands to scouts, players, opposition managers and newly-licensed competitions like the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League. SEGA/Sports Interactive will be unveiling new game features in the coming weeks across the Football Manager social media channels, the Football Manager website and FMFC, our Football Manager members’ hub. 

SEGA and Sports Interactive revealed that the PlayStation 5 version of Football Manager 2023 Console will not debut on 8th November, as originally planned, due to unforeseen complications which have arisen during the submissions and approvals process.

Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive’s Studio Director, said: “We're devastated by this outcome, which we have worked tirelessly with our partners for a number of weeks to try to address. It was especially difficult to make the decision to delay, as it involves holding back a great game which a number of talented people within SI have worked tremendously hard on for quite some time. We will continue to do everything in our power to get this game into the hands of PS5 gamers as soon as we can."

SEGA and Sports Interactive will update on this matter at the earliest opportunity. Customers who have pre-ordered via the PSN Digital storefront will have their pre-order cancelled and a full refund will be made according to Sony’s platform policy. Please note that there is no action required on the customer's behalf to receive the refund.

All other games in the FM23 suite are currently on course for an 8th November release.

From today until launch, fans who pre-purchase FM23 (for PC and Mac), from a SEGA-approved digital retailer* will receive a 20% discount and the chance to kick-off their managerial career ahead of schedule with Early Access to FM23. Pre-purchasing via the Microsoft Store will be available soon. 

Early Access will be available via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store roughly two weeks** prior to the official street date, and single player careers started in that period can be carried across to the final game.

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. 

Formerly titled the Xbox edition, FM23 Console joins FM23 in being available on the Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass from Day One. Xbox Game Pass for Console members will become the best by focusing on football’s most important areas – transfers, tactics and matchdays – from the comfort of their sofa, while Xbox Game Pass for PC members will have access to FM23’s unparalleled depth and realism. Both titles will, as was the case last year, be available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. 

Football Manager 2023 Mobile (on iOS and Android) is preparing for another successful campaign, with feature information due to be unveiled in October ahead of its release on November 8th. 

Football Manager 2023 is coming to Mobile (iOS/Android), Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S (Xbox Game Pass), Apple Arcade and PC on November 8, 2022, followed by PS5 at a later time.

*Early Access is available from SEGA-approved digital retailers only; please check here for an exhaustive list of digital retailers and more details as to what constitutes a SEGA-approved retailer.

**Early Access may go live at different times on different platforms
