Football Manager 2023 will have new licenses and makes its console debut on PlayStations

With Football Manager 2023, Sports Interactive will try to take the franchise to the next level following the success of the previous versions. Over the years, the franchise has become a famous name within the world of simulation gaming and has been vouched for by professional footballers and managers.

The release date has already been confirmed, and this year's version will be released worldwide on November 8. Before its complete official launch, there will be a two-week early access period available to all who pre-order the game. This will also serve as the game's closed beta, where developers will collect important feedback from players.

As for the platforms, Football Manager 2023 will be available on all major consoles and PCs. The game makes its debut on PlayStation consoles, with the Console Edition planned for release. The same will occur for the Xbox console, and this year's release will be added on day one to the Xbox Game Pass. The console version will be available on Xbox, while the PC version will be included in the PC Game Pass.

After a year of absence, Football Manager 2023 will also be available in the touch edition. The touch version has traditionally been a mix between the full edition and the mobile. It takes features from both to provide a unique blended experience. Sports Interactive discontinued it last year, but have decided to bring it back.

The touch version will be available on selected tablets only, like the iPad, and will be available on Apple Arcade as well. For normal mobile devices, there will be a different version.

While Football Manager 2023 will build on its previous versions, Sports Interactive has added a brand new Headline feature. This will provide an overview of all the key elements that a manager needs to bother with and allows them to focus better. Additionally, changes will also be made to the game engine to make it more realistic.

One of the major attractions will be the European competitions which are completely licensed for the first time. How much immersiveness it adds remains to be seen. Right now, interested players can pre-order the game on different platforms.
