eFootball 2023 developers Konami have confirmed the month that the gaming community will receive update 2.5.0 and provided a little bit of information of what will come with this update.

Konami had somewhat of a bad year in 2022 when it came to eFootball, and this was due to the fact that the game had huge bugs and wasn't getting updated enough, or the bugs were ones which they struggled to fix.

In 2023, the tide has most definitely changed as we have seen eFootball free from any huge bugs which make the game unplayable and also providing consistent updates which also bring fresh new content.

With a couple of updates on the horizon, let's have a look at when update 2.5.0 will be going live in eFootball 2023.
