Xbox Game Pass gets Football Manager 2022

The developers of the popular Football Manager game this week confirmed that the 2022 release of the game would be available on Xbox Game Pass from launch, cloud support included. While the 2020 launch included Google Stadia, the game has been absent from cloud platforms since, with this Football Manager 2022 launch on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate being a big deal.

Following the successful return of Football Manager to Xbox last year we’re delighted to announce that FM22 and FM22 Xbox Edition will be available with Xbox Game Pass from Day One when both titles launch on November 9th.

In another first for the series, Game Pass Ultimate members playing FM22 Xbox can continue their journey on any supported device through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
