The Switch is rapidly becoming a hot bed for the kinds of games that are traditionally associated only with PC gaming. We just had the launch of Diablo 3: Eternal Edition and Civilization 6 on the system earlier this week; now, Football Manager 2019 Touch, a simplified take on the popular soccer simulation series, is available on Nintendo Switch too.

As far as the release goes, it was a bit sudden. We did get Football Manager 2018 Touch on the Switch last year, to be fair, and we had been told that the Switch would get 2019 Touch too, but we didn’t actually have any warning that that would be happening today. Though to be fair, we were told it would launch on Switch in November, and at this point, it’s not like there’s many days in November left. Still, I have to imagine fans of the series are happy.

The one territory in the world where the game is not available on Switch yet is North America, which means players in USA, Canada, and Mexico must wait until December 6 to be able to play it. That’s not too far off, though. Football Manager 2019 proper is also available on PC and Mac. If you’re interested in learning more about that game, make sure to check out our review for it.

Sports Interactive’s Football Manager 2019 is now available for PC. Interestingly, its mobile versions – Football Manager 2019 Touch and Football Manager 2019 Mobile – are also available, marking a simultaneous launch for all three. Check out the launch trailer below, though keep in mind that it contains “non-gameplay footage”. There are way more stats involved.

Football Manager 2019 promises a number of improvements, both from last year’s iteration and the recent pre-release beta. A new match engine, changes to training and tactics, access to the pre-game/in-game editors, and the debut of the Bundesliga license are all included. If you happen to have a pre-release beta career, that will also carry over into the final release.

Overall, the game is garnering positive reviews on Steam (especially compared to last year’s iteration). It also has a Metascore of 87 based on 15 publications’ reviews. Though it may be early days yet for Football Manager 2019, it’s good to see Sports Interactive back in the (relatively) good graces of fans.
