I am on windows 10 pycharm with python version 3.11 and trying to install pygame is on 2.1.3.dev8

I have tried to install pygame on cmd prompt (it gives the exact same error), i have tried adding the package using Settings>Python Interpreter> + icon> pygame, and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall python, I reinstalled pycharm. Is it an IDE issue?
