Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release
Fans of the popular Football Manager series face disappointment as Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games. The decision, following multiple release date postponements, cites the inability to meet the developer's high standards for technical quality.
The abrupt cancellation is a blow to fans, particularly given the previously announced Netflix Games mobile launch, which promised to expand the franchise's reach. The future of Football Manager on the platform remains uncertain.
A Difficult Decision
While fan frustration is understandable, especially considering the late-stage cancellation and the lack of planned FM24 updates, Sports Interactive's commitment to quality is commendable. The decision to forgo a subpar release demonstrates a dedication to the franchise's long-term success.
The hope is that Football Manager 26 will not only meet, but exceed expectations, potentially returning to Netflix Games. Until then, gamers seeking alternative mobile titles can explore our weekly top five new mobile game feature.
