Football Manager 2025 cancelled on all platforms

Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release

The popular sports simulation game, Football Manager 2025, has been cancelled across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games. This decision, following multiple release date postponements, comes as a disappointment to fans.

Sports Interactive, the developer, cited insufficient technical quality as the primary reason for the cancellation. In a statement, they confirmed a shift in focus towards the development of the next installment in the franchise, Football Manager 26.

This cancellation is particularly frustrating for fans due to the previously announced Netflix Games mobile release, a move expected to attract a significant new player base. The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain.

A Difficult Decision

While fan frustration is understandable, given the late cancellation and the lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24, Sports Interactive's commitment to releasing a high-quality product is commendable. The decision, although poorly timed, demonstrates a dedication to maintaining the series' reputation.

The hope is that Football Manager 26 will not only meet high expectations but also revive the planned Netflix Games mobile release.
