“Football Manager 2025,” the highly anticipated simulation game by SEGA and UK-based studio Sports Interactive, was all set to wow fans this year, but it looks like the game won’t see the light of day after all. SEGA recently spilled the beans, stating that they’re pulling the plug on the release to double down on revamping the user interface and weaving in fresh gameplay elements. Apparently, perfecting these upgrades is a bigger time munch than originally thought. Determined to not just meet but exceed player expectations, SEGA has decided to funnel all the current development efforts into their next project, giving gamers something even bigger and better to look forward to. Stay tuned, because it sounds like they’re cooking up something major!
This game was initially set to support Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC (on platforms like Steam, Epic, etc.). Players who have already purchased the digital version can get refunds according to the policies of their respective stores.
Originally set to kick off in November 2024, the release of “Football Manager 2025” has been postponed to March 2025. Yet, the studio has openly admitted that the game isn’t quite hitting the goals they’d hoped for. In a bold move showing a commitment to quality, they’ve decided against rushing the release and patching things up later—a tactic that would be straight-up unfair to the fans. Given that tweaking the game now might be too little too late for players eager to dive into the 2024-2025 season, the difficult decision to pull the plug on the launch has been made. The studio has opted for integrity over disappointment, choosing to sideline this year’s release rather than letting down their dedicated community with a subpar performance.
Right now, the studio is putting all its energy into developing new projects for the 2025 to 2026 seasons, aiming to level up gamers’ experiences like never before.
