Publication Date: October 2023 Topic: Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 on PlayStation 2 Introduction: The Last Great PS2 Soccer Game In the world of football video games, 2016 was a turning point. While FIFA 17 introduced the Frostbite engine on PS4 and Xbox One, and PES 2017 won "Best Sports Game" awards on modern consoles, a small but dedicated community of retro gamers asked a different question: What about the PlayStation 2?

Konami surprised everyone by releasing – a full year after most developers had abandoned the console. This version runs on the legendary PS2 hardware, features updated 2016/2017 season data, and retains the classic "PES 5/6" gameplay engine that many fans still consider the best football simulation ever made.

Enjoy the beautiful game – the retro way. ⚽🎮
