While Electronic Arts typically keeps precise sales figures for its FIFA/EA Sports FC titles under wraps, it’s widely known that these games frequently top annual sales charts, especially in football strongholds like the United Kingdom and Spain. However, it’s important not to overlook Konami’s significant competitor to EA’s football productions. eFootball (formerly known as PES) has been around for quite some time, offering fans a compelling digital alternative. And with remarkable success…
Indeed, Konami has just announced that eFootball has officially surpassed one billion downloads. This free-to-play, evolving game has achieved immense success across PC, consoles, and mobile devices. It continues to attract new players at an impressive rate, logging no less than 50 million additional downloads since mid-January alone.
To celebrate this extraordinary milestone, Konami has unveiled several special in-game events designed to reward loyal players. One such event, dubbed ‘Master League Sprint’, is a limited-time activity inspired by the classic PES mode, offering daily login rewards, eFootball Coins, and Chance Deals that provide opportunities to acquire legendary players. Be aware, this event will only be active until April 16th, so don’t miss the chance to grab these valuable rewards.
In parallel, Konami has commissioned a special manga titled ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated in PES’ to commemorate this moment. It is described as “a fantastic story following Castolo, Minanda, and others in the world of the Master League.”
