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 its anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.
The developer cited insufficient technical quality as the primary reason for this abrupt decision. While a previous delay had already been announced, the ultimate cancellation has left many fans frustrated, especially given the planned Netflix Games launch, which promised to expand the game's reach significantly. The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further adds to the disappointment.
A Difficult Decision
While fan frustration is understandable, particularly given the late-stage cancellation and the absence of interim updates, Sports Interactive's commitment to delivering a high-quality product is commendable. The decision, though poorly timed in terms of communication, suggests a prioritization of long-term game health over a rushed, subpar release.
The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain, but the hope is that Football Manager 26 will rectify the situation and bring the series back to the platform.
