CDKeys also have a great pre-order discount at the moment, with you being able to save almost 25% by buying your Steam copy on there. Instead of paying full price, it is only £33.99, when you buy via them.
So, if you’re looking for the cheapest place to pre-order FM25, it looks like this is currently your best option but deals may change as we approach the official release.
Whether you play on Steam, Epic Games or Windows (with a PC Game Pass coming soon), this option gives you unlimited Loadable Nations in the game and takes the price down from £44.99 to £40.50, with you receiving a digital code via email to enable you to get playing as soon as the game is released on November 26.

And pre-orders are open right now.
While both FM25 Console – for Xbox and PS5 – and FM25 Mobile – for Netflix and PC/Mac – will also be ready to play on November 26. And Console copies should be available from the likes of Amazon, Currys, Argos and Very, here in the UK.
Whereas, if you plan on playing on your Nintendo Switch, you will have to wait a few more days until FM25 Touch is officially released on December 3.
But it's almost time to return to the sidelines and we, for one, cannot wait to get playing.
