How to download eFootball

You have always been a fan of the football world: more precisely, in the context of the age-old FIFA vs PES challenge (in reality there is no real winner), in the end you have almost always opted for the latter. Of course, since the project has been a bit revised there have been some episodes not of the best, but you have always remained faithful to the Konami series.

On the other hand, it is no coincidence that you are wondering how to download eFootball , in order to get your hands on the latest football news that has taken the place of Pro Evolution Soccer. In reality the soul is always that of PES, but now the nomenclature is different and there are some differences compared to the past.

In short, there may actually be a bit of confusion and I understand why you need more information, even if you may have already played some Konami football title in the past. Don’t worry: below you can find all the relevant information, which will lead you to your goal in no time. There is nothing left for me to do, except wish you good reading and have fun!

EFootball versions available

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to download eFootball , I think it may be interesting to deepen the Konami project.

Starting from the basics, the new identity of the PES series began in late 2019 with the release of eFootball PES 2020 . In this case there was still a clear indication to Pro Evolution Soccer , as well as the following year it was decided to keep the name eFootball PES 2021.

The real change of course came only at the end of 2021 with the release of eFootball 2022 , which represented an important breaking point with the past. In fact, reference is made to the twenty-first chapter of Pro Evolution Soccer, which abandons its original name , passes to the Unreal Engine 4 graphics engine (known for titles with a breathtaking technical sector, in the past Konami instead relied on the proprietary Fox Engine) and points decisively to the free to play business model .

What does this mean in practice? That in this guide I can explain how to download eFootball for free , as there is not really a paid version of the game. If, in fact, up to the versions that included PES in the name it was decided to follow the free to play path up to a certain point, or by releasing a free limited Lite version and another paid version, from eFootball 2022 there is only the full game and it’s totally free.

I know: if you are a fan with a few years on your shoulders, this might make you a little weird, but if until eFootball PES 2020 and 2021 there was a physical edition of the game (or in any case a Season Update that can be purchased in that format ), from eFootball 2022 the packaging is completely set aside in favor of the new digital era.

In short, to say that the chapter released at the end of 2021 is a turning point for the series is probably an understatement, given the many changes . In any case, as you can well imagine, the business model of eFootball 2022, a title that can be played largely for free, has its roots on the purchase of content such as additional modes , coins to be used in-game and other optional content .

Sounds like every PES fan’s dream, right? Unfortunately, it is good to curb the enthusiasm a little, as critics and the public have not well received , at least initially, eFootball 2022. This is mainly due to the few contents made available to the user, as well as the presence of multiple visual and other bugs. not insignificant criticality .

Konami even had to publicly apologize, eventually releasing corrective updates . In short, the new eFootball era did not start exactly in the best way, but I understand why you want to learn how to download this video game, since among other things it costs nothing to try it .

In any case, I want to let you know that, contrary to what one might think, eFootball also exists on smartphones and tablets . In this case we refer to productions other than the classic ones, as I will explain in more detail during the tutorial, but I wanted to make these necessary clarifications before continuing. 

How to download eFootball on PC

Downloading Konami’s football title on PC is child’s play, so much so that there are even more possibilities. To give you a concrete example, I will explain how to download eFootball 2022 , but clearly the procedure is practically the same for the other chapters of the saga.

In fact, you must know that the game is available for free both through the popular Steam platform and through the Microsoft Store of Windows 10 and Windows 11 . Given that these last operating systems are now particularly popular for PCs and that eFootball exists only for the Windows platform in the computer field, probably the simplest method you have to start playing is to go through the official digital store of Microsoft’s apps .

In fact, the latter is integrated into Windows 10 and Windows 11, so you don’t even need to install external programs or register for various services. All you have to do is simply click on the shopping bag icon in the taskbar located at the bottom (or click on the Microsoft Store icon in the Start menu).

Then, use the search bar at the top to search for eFootball , selecting the most relevant result (eg eFootball 2022 ). At this point, all you have to do is click on the Get button , wait for the download to finish and then press the Open button to start playing. Put simply, you can take advantage of the classic app installation procedure via the Microsoft Store .

In short, there is nothing simpler. In any case, if you want to proceed through Steam instead , I suggest you follow my guide on how to download games on Steam : everything is normal in this case too, since just search for eFootball in the Store, select the most relevant result , click on the Start game button and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Among other things, in the store pages from which you can download eFootball you can also find the minimum and recommended requirements to run the game properly on PC (for example, on the Microsoft Store a verification is generally already done based on the characteristics of the your PC, while the necessary components are indicated on Steam).

How to download eFootball on console

How do you say? Are you generally used to playing football games on consoles ? It doesn’t surprise me, as generally the tradition is that: controller and go. No problem: below I am going to carry out concrete examples regarding the possibility of downloading the game on the various consoles.

More precisely, I will focus on PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X / S to explain the procedures in detail, but in reality this is the part of the guide that is right for you even if you are wondering, for example, how to download eFootball on PS5 and how download eFootball on Xbox One : as we will see, in fact, the steps to be taken are very similar on all platforms.

Note: if you are wondering, however, how to download eFootball on Nintendo Switch , you must know that unfortunately this is not possible. In fact, Konami has decided not to release the game officially for this console.

How to download eFootball on PS4

One of the platforms that a good number of people want to play eFootball from is clearly PlayStation 4 . In this case, once you have connected the PS4 to the Internet and configured a PSN account (you can find everything in my guide on how to access PlayStation Network ), you just have to press the X button of the pad on the shopping bag icon , present on the main console screen. The latter represents the PlayStation Store .

After that, all you have to do is take advantage of the search function , type efootball , select the most relevant result and press the Download button , in order to automatically start downloading and installing the game.

That’s all: the procedure is disarmingly simple and once the game has been downloaded you can easily start it by pressing the X button on the controller on the appropriate box that will appear on the main screen of the PS4 (e.g. the one dedicated to eFootball 2022 ). For more details on everything, you can refer to my tutorial on how to download free games on PS4 .

If, on the other hand, you use PS5 , know that the procedure to follow is practically identical, so you can refer to the information I just gave you.

How to download eFootball on Xbox

Another platform that you may want to use to download eFootball are clearly the Xbox consoles . In particular, at this juncture I will explain how to proceed starting from Xbox Series S / Series X (even if the indications also apply to previous generation consoles).

Well, this is not anything complex, on the contrary: after connecting the console to the Internet and configuring Xbox Live , simply press the A button on the pad above the Microsoft Store icon , marked with the shopping bag symbol. Then, search for efootball , select the most relevant box (eg the one dedicated to eFootball 2022 ) and press the INSTALL button to proceed with the download and installation.

Once the system has finished these operations, you will be able to start the game from the main Xbox screen . For more guidance, you may want to check out my guide on how to download games on Xbox .

How to download eFootball on smartphones and tablets

If you are wondering how to download eFootball on Android or how to download eFootball on iOS (for iPhone or iPadOS in the case of iPad), you must know that this is possible, but there are some clarifications to be made.

In fact, there are two editions of eFootball on mobile devices: the classic one (for example, eFootball PES 2021), which tries, despite all the differences of the case, to follow the game for PC and consoles a little, and eFootball CHAMPIONS SQUAD , that tries to make the gameplay more epic by focusing on the champions.

In both cases, these are games that can be downloaded for free and therefore try eFootball even on smartphones and tablets does not cost anything. To proceed on Android , just open the Play Store (using the appropriate bag icon), search for efootball , select the title icon of your interest and tap the Install button . You can find more guidance in my tutorial on how to download apps on Android . If, on the other hand, you are using an Android device without Google services , you may want to consult my guide on how to install apps on HUAWEI .

As for the iPhone and iPad , however, you can simply open the App Store (via the stylized A icon), search for efootball , tap on the icon of the title you want to download and press the Get button . You may be prompted to confirm your identity with Face ID, Touch ID, or Apple ID password to proceed. For more guidance, you can refer to my guide on how to download apps on iPhone .

In short, now you are aware of essentially all the procedures to follow to download eFootball on your trusted device. So I just have to wish you more fun.
