FM21 brings the footballing world to life right in front of you by including all the latest news and data to enhance your gaming experience.
This means that even in your virtual football managing career, Coronavirus and Brexit are still a nuisance.
Also on Game Pass
As you can see above, it is a massive month of sporting titles on Xbox Game Pass.
