Konami's PES is now eFootball, a free-to-play experience with full cross-play

Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) has been the sole rival to EA's FIFA series of soccer games for a long time, and now, Konami is changing up the franchise's brand name and format. The series is now called eFootball, and it is dropping the upfront price tag and yearly releases altogether, with it becoming a free-to-play venture that features cross-play across all platforms.
