SEGA also announced that for the first time since 2007, Football Manager 2021 will be launching on Xbox platforms, where the game will be a Play Anywhere title, meaning that players only need to buy one copy of the game in order to play it across Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Windows 10 PC. Save transfers across all platforms will also be supported, so fans looking to move between platforms won't have to worry about starting from scratch.
Alongside the new platforms, Football Manager 2021 will also feature a renewed focus on how players manage their team. Sports Interactive included more tools that allow players to develop the personality and prowess of their players, and the company is planning on releasing more information throughout this month to showcase just what else is planned for the game.
Football Manager 2021 is set to launch on November 24, 2020 for Windows 10 PC, Mac, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X. Nintendo Switch and iOS/Android versions of the game are also in the works, with release dates for them currently still unknown.
