Sports Interactive’s Football Manager 27 Console is out now on Xbox Series X|S, priced at £49.99 / $59.99, and it is included with Game Pass Ultimate according to the Xbox Store.

SEGA and Sports Interactive confirmed the launch today. The Console edition is an Xbox Play Anywhere game, so one purchase also covers Xbox PC. A separate Xbox PC version of Football Manager 27 is also out now at the same price, and is included with PC Game Pass, according to the Xbox Store.

Match Preparation and Tactical Tweaks

The Console edition is built around bigger calls from the touchline. Sports Interactive is adding Match Preparation, which lets you set training priorities from your inbox ahead of crucial fixtures, and Tactical Tweaks, which give you more influence during matches. Recruitment is also more intelligent, with live reactions during contract negotiations to help you get a deal over the line.

There are refined layouts designed to put the big decisions front and centre, fully customisable controller mapping, and upgrades to crowds, stadiums and match day environments.

A separate Xbox PC edition of Football Manager 27 is also live today. It adds Tactical Effectiveness, which measures how well-equipped your players are to deliver your style of play, alongside refreshed training and the return of Cup Draws and Transfer Deadline Day. Sports Interactive also points to new licensed leagues, upgrades to the 2D match view, and more than 1,500 competition updates.

If you played the Launch Preview on Xbox PC, Sports Interactive says your saves will carry over. More than 625,000 people took part in the Free Play promotion, logging more than seven million hours and 13.8 million matches.

A short official note accompanies the launch: this version is still going through rights-holder approval, so some club and player assets may be missing for now.
