Konami launches ‘New Football Game Online Performance Test’ for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, and Xbox One
Help Konami evaluate the quality of the game's online matchmaking.
Konami has released an open beta test for a “new soccer experience” for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The test will run until July 8.
The official website for this “New Football Game Online Performance Test” is a subdirectory of the Pro Evolution Soccer branch of Konami’s website, so it is safe to assume it is a test for the next entry in the eFootball PES franchise.
Here is an overview of the open beta test, via its official website:
About
Konami is proud to announce that a new soccer experience is on its way!
Having said that, we’ll be running an open beta prior to the game’s official launch, as described below.
The purpose of this beta test is to evaluate the quality of the online matchmaking and connection to the servers.
Please note that gameplay mechanics, balancing, animations, and graphics are all under development and will be improved before the official launch.
With all that out of the way, we would like to invite you to participate in this open beta, and we would greatly appreciate it if you could share with us your thoughts and feedback on your experience.
