Football manager 2023 console to launch on playstation 5 on february 1st

Available at 20% off for PS Plus subscribers until February 14th 

Today, Sports Interactive™ and SEGA can announce that the iconic series, Football  Manager (FM), will debut on PlayStation 5 on February 1st with the release of Football Manager 2023 Console for that platform. 

FM’s inaugural PS5 release was originally scheduled for November 8th, 2022, but was subject to a delay caused by unforeseen circumstances which arose during the submissions and approval process. 

FM23 Console will now launch with a 20% discount for all PlayStation Plus subscribers which will be  redeemable until Tuesday, February 14th at 11:00 pm (UTC+8). The discount total is consistent with the pre order incentive that ran prior to the initial intended release date. 

Miles Jacobson, Sports Interactive’s Studio Director, said: “We’re delighted with today’s update that we’re  finally going to be able to get FM23 Console into the hands of PS5 gamers. Since the initial delay, the team at  Sports Interactive and our colleagues at SEGA have worked tirelessly with Sony to overcome the issues and  we’re pleased to now have a release candidate ready to launch next week.

While it’s unusual for us to release a game during a major football transfer window, our priority from the  moment our initial launch was postponed was to get the game into the hands of PS5 gamers as quickly as  possible. Once all the global transfer windows are closed, we will provide a data update for the PS5 edition in line with the updates for all of our other platforms.”
