Pro Evolution Soccer gets free-to-play version so Konami can sell you microtransactions

Konami’s future as a triple-A publisher is in doubt, but the company is continuing to embrace the free-to-play business model.

The company revealed that it is making a version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 that is free to download on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Konami calls this an “Entry Level” edition, which may make it sound like a demo, but it has a few key differences. Yes, you can get a limited taste of the traditional online and offline modes, but you will also get unlimited access to PES’s MyClub mode.
