Sociable Soccer 25: The beautiful game returns, bigger and better
For those who’ve been waiting to get their hands on the console versions, this is the first time Sociable Soccer graces PlayStation® and Xbox® platforms. And it’s not just a simple port; Sociable Soccer 25 comes loaded with up-to-date player, team, and competition data for the 2024/25 season. That’s over 1,400 club and national teams and more than 13,000 FIFPRO™ licensed players for you to collect and upgrade.
But here’s the kicker: unlike some other football games that shall not be named, once you purchase Sociable Soccer 25, all content is available at no extra cost. That’s right—no costly loot boxes or in-app purchases lurking around the corner. It’s a one-time purchase of £19.99 (or €24.99 / $24.99), and you’re set. Early birds can even enjoy a 20% launch discount during the first two weeks of release on Steam.
