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 technical quality issues as the primary reason behind this unexpected decision. While a previous release date postponement had already occurred, the complete cancellation has left many fans frustrated, particularly given the planned Netflix Games launch which promised to expand the franchise's reach.
A Difficult Decision
The late cancellation, originally slated for March, is understandably frustrating for fans. The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further compounds this disappointment.
However, the decision to prioritize technical quality over releasing a subpar product is, to some extent, commendable. This commitment to delivering a high-quality experience should be acknowledged, even if the communication surrounding the cancellation could have been improved.
The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain. Hopefully, the next installment, Football Manager 26, will address these issues and bring the series back to the platform.
