Football Manager 2022 To Launch This November, Arrives To Xbox Game Pass Day One

While it feels fairly limited what can be done with video game soccer titles, 2021 proves to be the most impactful year for the specific genre of titles. At the end of September, publisher Konami & developer PES Productions is set to ship the return of its ongoing IP now-rebranded eFootball. Atop of that, EA Sports is preparing the annual shipment of FIFA 22 arriving at the start of October later on.

Additionally, Sports Interactive’s is preparing to ship its next entry for Football Manager sometime later this year. With the ‘2022’ release presumed to drop this year, fans await an official announcement. Over on Xbox Wire, the game is being prepared to drop this November. More notably is that it will ship on Xbox Game Pass on day one.

Altogether, Football Manager 2022 will not only be available on Xbox Game Pass for console, but also Xbox Game Pass for PC and xCloud via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as well.

Football Manager 2022 puts you in complete control of your favourite football club. It’s down to you to meet board objectives and fan expectations as you overcome the odds to fight your way to the top of the footballing world.

As a manager, your goal is to cement your legacy among the greats. On the way, you’ll discover and sign the superstars of tomorrow, using data analysis to power your recruitment strategy. Work with your backroom team to nail your pre-match preparation before bringing your tactical philosophy to life on the pitch on Matchday and making the crucial in-match decisions to secure the three points.

This is not the first soccer title hitting the Xbox Game Pass library this year. In fact, it was just this past spring that FIFA 21 was welcomed to the service. Through the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate perk, EA Play List welcomed the 2020 title to Xbox Game Pass for those that pay for the tiered ‘Ultimate’ version.

This month, Xbox Game Pass starts strong with Final Fantasy XIII, Surgeon Simulator 2: Access All Areas, and The Artful Escape. You can read the full report by heading here.
