Football Manager 2021: All info on the Switch release

About a month after the release of the main game, a Switch version also followed shortly before Christmas. Our guide summarizes what you should know before buying the version.

FM 2021 Touch for the Switch: The release came as a surprise and caused joy.

Football Manager 2021 is considered the highlight of the series so far. Now Switch players can also get an idea of this.

Football Manager 2021: This is the Switch version

Here is the most important information at a glance:

• The Switch version is not an identical variant of the PC game, but the touch version.
• This is known to be somewhat slimmed down, so does not offer the same range of functions. It is optimized for operation on mobile devices and consoles like Nintendo's Switch.
• Already since Football Manager 2018, Switch players could play the respective touch version on their Nintendo console. However, a separate retail version has appeared for the first time for the Switch with FM 2021. It is priced at €39.99 in the Nintendo Store.

The release happened without prior announcement on December 14, 2020, so it was a pleasant surprise for Switch owners. An explanation of the different FM versions can be found in this guide.
