The next instalment of Konami Pro Evolution Soccer series. The game is not a fully-fledged continuation, but a seasonal refreshment of the previous part of the cycle. So we get an identical game and visual setting with updated player data and team composition.

Push Square: 6 / 10 by Sammy Barker
Konami is effectively taking a year off because it knows it has the basis of something special here and it wants to ensure it makes an effective transition to the PlayStation 5; we can respect that. But with barely any changes and the abovementioned licensing shortcomings, we’d recommend you just pick up last year’s game for a couple o' quid instead.
TrustedReviews: 3.5 / 5 by Max Parker
If you've already got PES 2020 and have found other means to update the squads and kits, there's very little of note here. The changes are minimal and this edition is likely just for those who decided against picking up the previous entry. But if a cheaper version of PES has you interested this is a great starting point. Yes, there are plenty of issues with the modes, commentary and AI but most of that just fades into insignificance when you're actually playing a game. Until the next-gen version arrives next year, this is the best representation of football you'll find.
Impulsegamer: 3.1 / 5 by Jamie Kirk
eFootball PES 2021 Season Update is last years game at a cut price with mostly up to date rosters. It's a beautiful game to play, marred by significant presentation issues and the lack of any killer game modes.

eFootball PES 2021 Description
eFootbal PES 2021 Season Update is the next instalment of the popular Konami football game series. The 2021 edition is slightly different to most parts of the series. This is not a fully fledged continuation, but only an updated edition of eFootbal PES 2020.
Mechanics
The gameplay in eFootbal PES 2021 Season Update has not changed compared to the 2020 edition. So we get a highly realistic football simulator, with a sophisticated pass system, manoeuvres, etc. The novelties mainly include updated player data and team compositions, some of which were introduced in post-premiere updates.
Game modes
All the highlights of eFootbal PES 2020 returned in the 2021 edition, both in single player and multiplayer mode. This includes an updated version of the official module of the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament from the add-on eFootball PES 2020: UEFA EURO 2020.
Technical and other aspects
The development of eFootbal PES 2021 Season Update have not made any changes to either the three-dimensional visual setting of the game or the sound layer. The game includes bonuses for the myClub mode, such as player extension coupons and the Premium Agent option.
