Game facts and channel gameplay
FM2023's recruitment and tactics systems, licensed UEFA competitions, older-edition availability, Steam feedback, and PC requirements.
Quick answer
Football Manager 2023 puts you in charge of recruitment, tactics, player development and club expectations. Steam currently marks it as unavailable for new store purchases, so this page is particularly useful for existing owners and viewers of the channel's older saves.
FM2023 gives you recruitment meetings, relationships with agents and squad-planning tools alongside a tactics board. Developing prospects into first-team players is part of the club-building process, rather than treating every transfer as a purchase of an established star.
The published feature list also includes Supporter Confidence and a Dynamic Manager Timeline. The former tracks fan expectations; the latter records milestones in your own career. Statistics in a creator's save describe that save, rather than a universal prediction for another player's season.
The official description adds out-of-possession tactical instructions for defensive and counter-attacking approaches. It also describes changes to AI decision-making and roles such as wing-backs and double pivots.
This edition licenses the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League, with branded presentation and cup draws. These features describe FM2023's edition; they do not make its database or squads a current-season release.
Steam's page currently states that Football Manager 2023 is no longer available on its store. A surviving product page, review total or active-player count therefore should not be mistaken for a purchasable Steam listing.
If you already own it, the channel's career footage and the factual overview remain relevant to that edition. For a new purchase, compare currently available Football Manager editions and their exact platforms rather than assuming an old video implies an active FM2023 offer.

Steam player feedback
Paraphrased examples from a small, deliberately balanced sample of positive and negative reviews. They show individual perspectives, not how common each opinion is.
Positive review examples
Sampled positive reviewers described continuing long saves and finding greater complexity when moving from the mobile game to the PC edition. These are experiences with their careers, rather than claims about every platform version.
Negative review examples
Sampled negative reviewers complained about interface bugs, crashes and the amount of inbox management. Those concerns can matter to an existing owner deciding whether to return to an older save.
