Miles Jacobson, studio director of Sports Interactive said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing Football Manager to the Epic Games Store and to introduce a new audience to the FM experience. Simply click ‘Load Game’ on the start screen and your existing saves will be there ready to pick up where you left them. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but you can compare all the new versions of the game here.FM20 on the Epic Games Store, as well as future editions of Football Manager includes cross network play with Steam allowing players to go head-to-head with their mates no matter which of the two platforms they’re playing on, utilising the Epic Online Services platform to make this a possibility.įans that are already well into their FM20 career and want to try out FM on the Epic Games Store, can bring their saved game across to Epic and continue their progress. I guess it's a relief that I can still get it via the Xbox Edition, but having to interact with the Windows store in any capacity is a curse. I'm low on time and often favour the slimmed down versions over the full fat releases of Football Manager, these days. I'm sympathetic, but still a little glum about it. Sports Interactive explained back in October that these decisions were made as a reflection of dropping sales of the Touch versions on PC, and the difficulty of developing games during the pandemic. It's available to play on PC, but annoyingly not via Steam - only via the Windows 10 Store and Xbox Game Pass. This year's version, FM2022 Touch, is sadly only available for Nintendo Switch, with no Steam, Epic or mobile release.įM2022 Xbox Edition, meanwhile, is based on the Touch version and broadly the same game. FM Touch is a faster way to experience the football simulation that feels closer to how the series played circa 2005 and earlier. In previous years, Football Manager's streamlined Touch editions were available on Steam, mobile, and more recently the Epic Games Store. This is where things get a little confusing, and a little disappointing. That includes both the main game and the separate Xbox Edition. It's also, as noted above, available as part of an Xbox Game Pass subscription for the first time. You can pick FM2022 up from Steam or Epic for £40/€55. We'll have a review of the game along later in the week. Football Manager's true energy is closer to Sean Bean waxing over stock footage of trains to advertise Train Simulator 2014 (and with diminishing returns in 2015).įootball Manager 2022's major new features include improved on-pitch animations, a new data hub for revealing information about matches and player performance, and new staff meetings. Here's the launch trailer for the game, featuring youthful Barcelona midfielder Pedri, and various representations of the kinds of things you do in the game.įootball Manager's screens of data are hard to make sexy, but I'm not sure I want to be whatever augmented reality cyberballer is being depicted in the trailer above, pointing at graphs and clapping loudly. That means you can now grab the being-sacked simulation from Steam, Epic, or for the first time as part of Xbox Game Pass. After a couple of weeks in early access beta, Football Manager 2022 is now out for reals.
