Football Manager 2025 cancelled on all platforms

Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release

Fans of the popular football management simulator, Football Manager, are facing disappointment. Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including the anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.

The developer cited insufficient technical quality as the primary reason for this abrupt decision. While a previous delay had already been announced, the complete cancellation has understandably upset many players, particularly given the planned Netflix Games launch which promised to expand the game's reach significantly.

A Difficult Decision

The late-stage cancellation, originally slated for a March release, is undoubtedly frustrating for fans. The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further exacerbates this disappointment.

However, the decision to prioritize quality over a potentially subpar release deserves some recognition. While the communication could have been improved, the commitment to delivering a high-quality product is commendable. The hope is that Football Manager 26 will not only meet high expectations but also see a return to the Netflix Games platform.
