What Are the Differences Between FM23 Console & PC Versions?
Click to enlargeAs this is the first time that a Football Manager game has appeared on consoles, Sports Interactive has adjusted the different versions slightly. The former Football Manager Xbox version of the game is being shifted into a broader FM Console release across both home consoles. This version is more attuned to working downwards from the main PC version, as opposed to expanding upon the more feature-stripped Mobile and Touch editions.
Of course, you are never going to be able to squeeze a version as in-depth as the one on PC onto consoles - especially if it is being made with a controller in mind - but FM23 Console is as close to the beefy PC version as possible.
Menus have been designed specifically to be used with a controller, meaning that any headaches that an emulated mouse cursor would bring have thankfully been avoided.
So, that gives you all the details of the upcoming Football Manager 2023 PlayStation 5 release, so you can properly look forward to it from now on. If you want to ensure a good start though, make sure to check out this FM23 wonderkids guide for the biggest future stars in the game.
