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 the anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.
The developer cited the inability to meet their high standards of technical quality as the primary reason for the cancellation. This decision, while undoubtedly frustrating for players who had anticipated the March release, demonstrates a commitment to delivering a high-quality product. The statement confirmed that development efforts will now focus on Football Manager 26.
The cancellation is particularly disheartening given the previously announced Netflix Games mobile launch, a move poised to attract a significant new player base. The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain.
The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further adds to fan disappointment. However, the decision to avoid releasing a subpar game is arguably commendable, even if the communication surrounding the cancellation could have been improved.
The hope is that Football Manager 26 will not only meet, but exceed expectations and potentially return to the Netflix Games platform. In the interim, players seeking new mobile gaming options can explore our weekly top five new mobile game feature.
