The developers confirmed that Football Manager 2024 will remain available across all platforms until the release of Football Manager 25.
This means that players of FM24 on Apple Arcade, Xbox Game Pass, Netflix and PlayStation Plus may carry on playing their careers through to the digital launch of FM25.
FM24 will also remain available on storefronts up to the same point, including Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store and the Nintendo eShop.
Even though seems like the bare minimum SI/Sega could do, it still required approval by their licensors and platform partners to make this happen.
And while the vast majority of FM24 licenses have been extended for this period, some individual club rights were unavailable for extension. As such, it was necessary to roll out this small update across most platforms to remove some assets from those clubs.
Date Released: December 4th, 2024
File size: 237MB
This update will follow slightly later for FM24 Mobile.
To update you will need to close down Football Manager 2024 and re-launch for it to update. If this does not work for you or you feel it has not updated you will need to restart Steam or Epic Games.
Even if that doesn't do the trick, then verify the game cache will.24.4.1 List of Changes
