Pro Evolution Soccer, also known as PES in Europe and Winning Eleven in Japan and North America, is an association football video game franchise by Konami. It began with the International Superstar Soccer (ISS) series in 1994, and has been succeeded by eFootball since 2021.
PES is Konami's best-selling franchise (above Metal Gear), the second best-selling association football game franchise (after FIFA), and the third best-selling sports game franchise (after FIFA and Madden NFL). PES peaked during the 2000s, when it was one of the biggest franchises in Europe and Japan. PES sales figures rivalled FIFA up until the late 2000s, before PES eventually fell behind FIFA in sales by the early 2010s.
eFootball reached $1 billion gross for mobile devices some time in 2023.[1]
