Football Manager 2022 released on PC, Mac, Xbox & Switch
By Tom Gott
Football Manager 2022 is here.
Billed as 'the best Football Manager ever', the new game features some major changes to both gameplay and simulation which fans on all platforms can enjoy.
A new animation engine has been designed to improve the realism of player movement and dribbling on the pitch, and an all-new pressing system has improved the intelligence of players at both ends of the pitch.
There's also the new Wide Centre Back player role, which is undoubtedly going to allow you to create some unreal tactics.
FM22 also features a new Data Hub which mimics the same analytics and reporting methods that all your favourite European giants are using worldwide, allowing users to customise their own stat reports and make smarter decisions on player development.
Updates to interaction with backroom staff and a revamped Deadline Day experience will also give fans plenty to enjoy.
PC and Mac users can pick Football Manager 2022 up from the Steam, Epic and the Microsoft Store, and any progress players had made on the Beta, which was released two weeks ago, will carry straight over to the official version.
The Microsoft Store also hosts the Xbox Edition of the game after a successful return to the platform with FM 2021 last year.
For the first time ever, both the Xbox and PC version are available with Xbox Game Pass from launch, so subscribers can start their careers on both consoles right away.
Finally, Football Manager 2022 Touch is live for the Nintendo Switch, while FM22 Mobile has hit the App Store and Google Play as well.
