Football Manager 23 is approaching its full release, but if you want to save a decent 20 per cent on your purchase of the upcoming management sim, a number of retailers are offering the game at a discount for a limited time.
In FM23, pick a club to lead to victory, through shrewd business acumen, developing team strategies and recruiting fresh talent.
Its deep and complex management systems are heavily contrasted by its undemanding spec requirements for both PC and Mac. In the year 2022, you would struggle to find a machine that couldn’t run Football Manager 23.
It’s also the first Football Manager title to make its way onto the PlayStation 5, after close to two years of the console’s life cycle. So, if you would rather lead your team from the comfort of your sofa, with a dualsense controller in hand, you’ll now be able to do so.
