The free-to-play part is surely set to make for a lucrative option as paying about Rs 4,000 for the latest football game every year has been something FIFA players have expressed frustration at. Konami is hoping to make money with the help of hundreds of millions of football enthusiasts across the world. This comes at a time when live services games life Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex Legends, and more are raking in big money for makers. By applying the same model across all platforms, we hope that more football fans will be able to play this game on consoles as well,? Kimura told IGN. ?I believe that we have already proven that this structure can be successful on mobile. Konami already has a mobile game named ?eFootball PES? that has been there for the past couple of years. The eFootball series? producer Seitaro Kimura said in an interaction with IGN that the company has been planning this move since the past two years roughly, in order to coincide with the transition in console generations. Now, this is an interesting overhaul for Pro Evolution Soccer, that has always remained overshadowed by EA Sports FIFA and goes away from the old model of an annual paid game.

Konami has said that crossplay on mobile phones will require an external controller.


There will be an Android and iOS version of eFootball that will follow soon after. The eFootball game will launch during autumn on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox One, Windows 10, and Steam for PCs. Pro Evolution Soccer maker Konami has announced that Pro Evolution Soccer is being rechristened as ?eFootball.? This will be a free-to-play title, offering cross-platform play post a global launch. The second-most popular football game after FIFA, Pro Evolution Soccer has been discontinued after years of efforts to try and overtake EA Sports? FIFA in order to become the primary football game across the world.
