Football Manager 27 Console launches November 10: platforms, Game Pass and what's missing compared to PC

According to the official FM27 Console FAQ, the Console edition launches on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox handheld devices and PlayStation 5. PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can also play FM27 Console via the Microsoft Store or the Xbox PC app. The PlayStation Store listing shows a release time of 4:00 PM UTC on November 10, which is 5:00 PM in Paris. Sports Interactive's own pages only say 'from 10 November'.

The FAQ lists a 'find similar players to…' option and extra staff advice during transfer negotiations, Match Preparation messages for training before games, an Information Display size option, button mapping, the Shuffle Draft mode (online or offline), Tactical Tweaks and improved Shouts, Pass Maps and Heat Maps after matches, and the return of Cup Draws.

In replies on the same FAQ thread, a member of the FM Community Team confirmed that FM27 Console has no Tactical Effectiveness system (training has been changed, mostly in the interface), no agents and intermediaries when selling players, and that the 30-year save limit is still in place. They also said you can plug in a keyboard and mouse.
