Football Manager 2022 is the latest release in the popular series and came out in November last year. It is a good idea to note that this game is not a resource-intensive game, meaning older laptops can run it as well. But for future-proofing, you need to get a laptop that you can play the upcoming games in the series on without any problems.

Football Manager is a CPU-heavy game, and laptops with APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) can run the game without any hassle. If you're on a tight budget, you can get a cheaper laptop that can run the game; however, you will have to compromise on graphics, and future-proofing will not be guaranteed.

If a laptop is out of your budget, the latest game in the series has also been released on mobile and is available on both the App Store and the Play Store for $9.99. That said, the price may drop to $6.99.

The minimum specifications to run Football Manager 2022, the PC version, are:
