Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release

Fans of the popular Football Manager series are disappointed by the unexpected cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games. Sports Interactive, the developer, cited insufficient technical quality as the reason for the cancellation.

The decision comes after multiple release date postponements. While the initial delay may have been anticipated, the complete cancellation is a significant blow, especially given the planned Netflix Games launch, which was expected to attract a large new player base.

A Difficult Decision

The late-stage cancellation, with a previously announced March release date, is understandably frustrating for fans. The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further exacerbates this disappointment.

However, the decision to prioritize technical quality over a potentially subpar release is arguably commendable. While communication could have been improved, the commitment to delivering a high-quality product is a positive sign for the future of the franchise. The hope is that Football Manager 26 will not only meet high expectations but also return to the Netflix Games platform.
