Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release
Fans of the popular football management simulator, Football Manager, are facing disappointment. Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including the anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.
The developer cited insufficient technical quality as the primary reason for this unexpected decision. While the release had already been delayed, the ultimate cancellation is a significant blow, especially considering the planned Netflix Games launch which was expected to attract a new wave of players.
A Difficult Decision
The late-stage cancellation, originally slated for a March release, is understandably frustrating for fans. The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further compounds this disappointment.
However, the decision to prioritize quality over a potentially subpar release deserves some acknowledgement. While the communication could have been improved, the commitment to delivering a high-quality product is commendable.
The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain, but hopefully, Football Manager 26 will see the series return to the platform. In the interim, explore our weekly roundup of the top five new mobile games to fill the void!
