A press release said: 'Modelled on the popular Touch series, the Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition thrusts you onto the big stage with a tailored version of the game that's been fully customised for optimal performance with the Xbox controller.
'Microsoft's Play Anywhere functionality allows you to kick-off your career in style on console and then pick up your season on any Windows 10 PC. Keep an eye on our social media channels in early November for full feature details and functionality info.'
Football Manager director Miles Jacobson explained on Twitter why FM would be available on Xbox but not PlayStation.
He said: 'Being asked this a lot & will get into trouble for answering. Our friends at @Xbox have spent years asking for us to come back to their consoles. It's how both FM19 & FM20 ended up on Gamepass towards the end of the cycle, and now FM21 on Xbox One & Series X/S. Sony didn't.'
As well as the flagship PC game, Football Manager Touch and Football Manager Mobile are also returning, with release scheduled for December.
However, players who don't want to wait for the initial November 24 deadline can get a head start with Football Manager 21 Early Access, which comes with a free edition of FM21 Touch. Early Access is expected to be available around two weeks before the full release on the Epic Games Store and Steam.
While specific new features haven't yet been revealed, Sports Interactive have promised the following: 'FM21 delivers dynamic and fresh true-to-life management experiences that renew the focus on you, the beating heart of your football club.
'You are equipped with more tools than ever before to develop your managerial prowess and command success at your club. New additions and game upgrades produce unparalleled levels of football authenticity as well as extra layers of depth and drama.'
© Provided by FourFourTwo Football Manager 2021Football Manager 2021 is now out and has been well-received - read our FM21 review here - for its fine level of detail and much-improved match engine.
This year's full desktop version is the most advanced yet. Which is great if, like us, you're a huge nerd and enjoy diving deep into the intricacies of virtual management. But if you're not a huge nerd (shame!), or don't have the time to do more than simply whizzing through a few matches every now and then, there are some excellent streamlined versions to enjoy too.
Football Manager 2021,FM21Touch and FM21 Xbox offer three unique playing experiences, each with their own advantages and drawbacks.
Been thinking of getting one but can't decide? Not sure which console to purchase the game for? Allow us to explain the key differences in order to help you decide.
Football Manager 2021
Available on: PC/Mac
RRP: £39.99
Buy Football Manager 2021 hereThe 'complete' version of the game. Football Manager 2021 on PC and Mac invites players to dive, headfirst, into the intense world of virtual football management. Here, you will experience the full range of managerial responsibilities, whether it's dealing with players' gripes about your training methods, talking to the press before a midweek cup tie or fine-tuning your tactics before weekend fixtures.
To help you with all of this, you are given a greater scale of insight and analysis from your backroom staff. They will regularly visit your office to chat about tactics ahead of matches, invite you to take part in scouting discussions and suggest ideas and tips for training your squad.
You're offered a wider range of communication options in order to help you interact with players, staff and journalists. Whether you want to call a press conference to stir-up some mind games ahead of a crucial cross-town derby, introduce a new signing to the press or shoot an on-loan youngster a message to find out how he's getting on.
You'll also be required to attend and watch games. Your influence from the dugout plays a crucial role as events unfold. Make a sub, switch formations or shout encouragement. Sadly, you don't have the power to 'Nigel Pearson' opposing players, but you're pretty much unbridled beyond that.
Essentially, this is the version you will want to play if you love everything about the series and want it turned up to eleven.
FM21 Touch
Available on: PC, Mac, tablets (Coming soon to Nintendo Switch)
RRP: £21.99
Buy Football Manager 2021 Touch hereThe 'lighter' version of the game. Because, let's be honest, as amazing as the main version of the game is, it does demand a huge amount of time; if you're really committed to all the press conferences, training meetings, scouting discussions and the rest of it, single seasons can take weeks to complete.
Crazy as it seems to the rest of us, protracted roundtables about wage budgets just aren't what some people want after a long day at the office.
For these folk, FM21 Touch provides an elite alternative. It has all the ingredients of the main version, but they're skimmed down. Everything is quicker, less fiddly, and you can get through seasons in breakneck speed.
In Touch, there's less interaction with players, fans and the media and more duties are automatically delegated to your assistant. You can also ‘Instant Result' through a match to progress through the game faster - something the real game has never allowed. Essentially, you're focusing more on the core elements of being a manager, such as games and tactics, and less on all the bluster that comes with it.
The perfect version for when you have half an hour free and want to make some serious progress, without cutting back on the essence of what makes Football Manager so addictive.
Football Manager 2021 Mobile
Available on: Apple, Android
RRP: £8.99
Buy Football Manager 2021 Mobile for iPhone hereBuy Football Manager 2021 Mobile for Android hereWhile it is, of course, possible to play the desktop version of the game on the train or in the car, nothing is quite as easy as using your phone and this is ideal for when you're on the move.
Naturally, this is also a slimmed-down version of the real deal, with less of an emphasis on talking to the media, your players and staff. Your assistant will fulfil most of the fiddly duties, leaving you to tap your way swiftly between fixtures.
You're also offered the chance to instantly generate results, meaning your battery won't be used up at lightning speed by the match engine.
No fuss, no nonsense - in other words, the Tony Pulis version of Football Manager world.
Football Manager 2021 Xbox
Available on: Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, Windows PC
RRP: £29.99
Buy Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition hereThe 'alternative' version. Yes, after a decade away, the Football Manager series has returned to the Xbox. Don't have a laptop or a PC but want to play on a big screen? Then this is the version for you.
The design team have painstakingly crafted a version of the game which performs effortlessly with the Xbox controller, meaning you're not operating a weird mouse or anything like that - it's all playable with your fingertips just like any of your other Xbox games.
Modelled on the FM21 Touch version, FM21 Xbox is a streamlined version of the game which focuses on the managerial essentials. So, more tactics and matches and fewer press conferences, scouting chats and training schedules.
The designers have also made the Xbox version compatible with a Windows PC - as Xbox is a Microsoft product, after all - which means you can transfer your save onto a laptop if you'd prefer that, and then switch back to the console whenever you feel like it.
