PlayStation 5 owners can breathe a sigh of relief now that the wait for the massively popular football management simulation game Football Manager 2023 is finally over.
Originally scheduled to be released on November 8 last year, the delayed inaugural PlayStation 5 edition of the game will be released on February 1. Additionally, PlayStation Plus subscribers will get a 20% discount voucher that they'll be able to redeem until February 14. The news was announced by Miles Jacobson, the director of Sports Interactive studio, who 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.
