Pro Evolution Soccer 2019[a] (Abbreviated as PES 2019) is a football simulation video game developed by PES Productions and published by Konami for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.[1] It is the 18th installment in the PES series and was released on 28 August 2018 in North America and 30 August 2018 in Japan, Europe, and Australia.[2] During that time, Philippe Coutinho, winger for FC Barcelona, appeared on the cover of the standard edition,[3] while David Beckham appeared on the front cover of the legend edition. Scottish clubs Celtic and Rangers were added to the game along with their stadiums, highlighting the Old Firm derby.[4][5] This was the final installment in the franchise to be branded as PES, following the decision to rebrand it eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer, EFootball PES 2020, and later as eFootball.[6][7]

Konami aimed to increase the number of licenses, which included more fully licensed leagues and stadiums and a variety of new legends of soccer to play with. Until then, the official championships announced directly by Konami were 12 leagues which include the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, Danish Superligaen, the Portuguese Primeira Liga, the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, the Swiss Raiffeisen Super League, the Scottish Premiership, the Dutch Eredivisie, the Argentine Primera División. However, Konami announced that it did not renew its deal with UEFA for the Champions League, Europa League, and the UEFA Super Cup, which they had for 10 years; the license is being used in EA Sports FIFA 19.[8][9] PES 2019 was succeeded by eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020.
