Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today, announced the availability of the first free update for Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2013. In addition, KONAMI has released information and features about the second DLC elements for the critically acclaimed soccer game, PES 2013.

As with previous iterations of the series, KONAMI is committed to constantly adding content to PES 2013, and the first free update ramps up the online side of the game. Available today for PlayStation®3 and Xbox®360, the update adds a widget system that acts as a shortcut to gathering friends together for online matches. PES 2013 allows up to eight people to play in a match simultaneously, and the new download adds Community modes, wherein friends can be automatically selected from a pre-determined list and allows communities to track and monitor their results. Users can now concede a match at half-time as well.

KONAMI will soon release a second DLC pack that reflects all summer transfers, adds further UEFA elements, team updates and 11 new boot designs.

The PES 2013 update is free to download and is now available via PlayStation Network and XBOX Live. PES 2013 is rated “E” for Everybody by the ESRB and is available at retail stores across Canada for the retail price of $59.99.
