    I remember the days when Pro Evolution was so big and was more popular than Fifa. Can't believe they have to give it out freely now.

    • PES was never more popular than FIFA. Better? Yes. More popular? No.

      • back in the ps2 days pes5 and 6 sold heaps

        • I know it was popular and maybe closer to FIFA in sales than it is now but I don't think it was ever more popular. Happy to be proved wrong.

          • @GodsSon23: I think in regards to japan and europe it was more popular than fifa. Its a shame how far it fell but its been getting pretty good again over the last couple iterations. The only thing FIFA had on them in the past was licenses. Pro evo didnt have the names for lots of clubs like Liverpool was Merseyside Red for example, and lots of the players had butchered names. There were database files you could download and modify your save for the ps2 that would fix everything up. But I'm sure not everyone wanted to do that. If they had the licenses back then, fifa would have been completely buried. Only 10 year olds would be playing it since it was easier. They still would have fallen by the wayside though as they did later. The game became pretty poor for a number of years. Just weird as a pro evo fan to have moved to fifa which had gotten substantially better. Competition is good.

    Not free it says play for a limited time not keep

    "Play PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2019 free for a limited time
    Xbox One X Enhanced"

    • Looks like that to me as well

    • Given it's the new version, and there is the option to buy it for $99.95, it just seems like it's a promotional trial.

      • Maybe a bug only can wish as mentioned showing I own it. :/

        • Fingers crossed.

          My son would be very happy.

    • I think you are right but the title could be taken that the game is free for a limited time, not that your time is limited. Wording is ambiguous as all hell.

  • Why is this free?

    • No idea mate ..

    • +2

      Said no OzBargainer ever!

  • Limited time?

  • +3

    After claiming it online it then reads as "You Own This Game"

    • +1

      I now have the same message, thanks Op

  • Is this full version? or Demo?

    • full version.. while installing it doesn't say demo

    • 27gig sure it's the full game playing as we speak full game.

  • Look I gave it a go, if you look at the standard version of the game after purchasing this it says you own it so fingers crossed

  • Is Croatia in this one? I know they aren't in FIFA any more.

    • +1

      They're in but I don't know if they're licensed or not.

      • Yeah that's the issue. In PES 2016 they were in and unlicensed, but then PES got the Euro 2016 licence and then full licenced Croatia was in the game from then on, even with the pre-Euro 2016 outfits as well as the Euro 2016 ones. It's such a weird and convoluted thing, these licences :/

        • +1

          I know. I wish they weren't exclusives to the highest bidder. Here's the team https://www.pesmaster.com/croatia/pes-2019/team/24/

          • @TLZ: Oh nice, yeah that's licenced, those are the actual dudes!

            • @Iggemo: pes wonder why their product never sell well yet they buy new smaller leagues licences just to use players names. For example they have full partnerships with Celtic, Rangers, Monaco and have promised the stadiums of being in the game yet we are 2 months into the games life and still no sign of player face scans/ stadiums being added. Now with no champions league and a bunch of leagues with 0 authenticity the game is going to get boring quite quickly

              • @toblerone21: Which is a shame cos i think it's a much better game than FIFA. I tried playing FIFA 2018 and found it soooo slow and boring and tedious. Just ultra focused on realism at the expense of fun (kinda like another popular game that just came out btw!). I prefer PES more but i really miss games like the FIFA WC 2010 game which was absolutely a blast to play online. Now it's just boring tedium, such a shame.

    Can't wait to play as Man Blue.

      At least on PS4 u can just download proper teams. Can't even do that on Xbox :(

  • Thanks said "You own this game" even I don't have XB1 and sad not play anywhere title.

  • Came here to give +
    Dont have XB1 but love the game, wish can install and play it on my win10 machine

    Not to be that guy but this is most likely what it says "Play for a limited time".

    All of the previous "free weekend" games show up as "You own this" until the free weekend is up. MS has different licence structures that all show "You own this" if you are applicable.

    • EA Access
    • Xbox One Games obtained from Games with Gold (Requires an active Xbox Live sub)
    • Xbox Game Pass
    • Free Weekend/Play for a Limited Time.
    • And of course if you just outright bought the game.

    Each of these licences comes up as "You own this game".

  • But should it not state somewhere it's a free weekend or trial etc if that's the case?

  • This is a very good game. If anyone interested in playing online my psn is dodgygameplayer

  • Wish there was some love for PS4 owners :(

    Grabbed 2018 for about $6 when this first came out, and it's my go to time waster atm

  • Anyway to play it on pc?

  • Happened with Fallout 4 and licenses were revoked.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/252208

    • That was completely different. This is a "Free Weekend/Play for a Limited Time" officially done by Ms. Not uncommon.

      Fallout 4 was a glitch in the market that allowed people to buy the game with expansions for free.

    Cheers mate :)

    Thanks BA, worst thing that can happen is a $10 voucher like last time yeah?

  • Got the game and played a few matches. Should be the best PES ever I reckon. I am impressed with the gameplay. Hopefully this is not just "limited time" ownership lol.

  • +1

    Hmm… says that I own it! Lets see for how long ;).

    Thanks for posting OP!

  • +1

    Thanks BA, it always amazes me as to how you keep on finding such damn good deals! Hats off to you and Thank you.
    Now let's see for how long this is gonna be free 😉

    • ☺️ Lost of words.. 🙏

    • It's only free for a few days.

  • Now I wish I got an xbox

    • Massive marketing failure.

      are only playable with full functionality and available from November 8-11 (US Pacific Time), so alert your friends, log on your Xbox One and get in on the action now and the entire weekend.

      It’s not free at all

  • I tried the Online play but it won't work?

  • +1

    If you can look past the lack of licensing, the game play is significantly better than FIFA.

  • Is Online Play working???

  • It still said "You own this game"
