FM27 Mobile vs FM27 on PC, console and Touch
There are four Football Manager 27 editions. FM27 Mobile is the Netflix-exclusive game for iOS and Android. Football Manager 27 is the PC/Mac game (Steam app 4530370, also on Epic and Xbox PC). FM27 Console is on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, and FM27 Touch is on Apple Arcade. All launched from 10 November 2026, but they are separate products with separate feature lists, and buying one does not unlock another.

What makes the Mobile edition different
SI describes FM27 Mobile as a more digestible way to play FM that keeps the depth for important decisions. Its own announced features are the 2D match engine with xG, Dynamics events, trait training, the Supporters tab, Physio Reports, haptics and Colombia as a new league. Saves continue from FM24 and FM26 Mobile, not from the PC game.
Features that belong to the PC game
SI’s PC/Mac news for FM27 talks about squad building, a more intuitive interface, Cup Draws and Transfer Deadline Day, and a free Launch Preview whose save carries into the full game. These are PC announcements. SI has not said they are in FM27 Mobile, so do not expect them there.
Touch is not Mobile
FM27 Touch is the Apple Arcade edition. SI says it supports cloud progress across Apple devices and that the FM26 Touch page updates automatically to FM27 Touch. FM27 Mobile has a different store page (published by Netflix), its own saves and, per Netflix, no cloud saves.
