eFootball 2024 is out now on all platforms - and it's better than ever as Konami continue to develop the free-to-play game for users of all abilities.
Replacing Pro Evoltion Soccer (PES) in 2021, eFootball has adopted the approach of in-game purchases rather than from the sale of the game itself, though a Leo Messi Edition is available to buy, too.
In eFootball 2024, gamers can compete across platforms against each other, meaning players don't have to have the same console to have a match. The game also remains the only place where users can play in stadiums such as the Allianz Arena, Camp Nou, San Siro and Stadio Olimpico.
With new features, exclusive licensing and improved functionality, it's an exciting time to play eFootball 2024…

Boosters are a new feature in eFootball 2024, giving users the ability to further enhance the attributes of their favourite players. While a player's attributes are limited to 99 on the normal parameters, boosters allow stars on the game to exceed that limitation and perform to an exaggerated level.
There are various types of boosters available in-game, including ones that are player-specific, ones that affect the entire team and ones that appear by selecting players who meet certain criteria.
The gameplay, meanwhile, has also been dramatically improved, with the dribbling and defending particularly enhanced to create more realism.
