FIFA 18 and PES 2018 are continuing their annual battle for living room supremacy amongst gamers who are footie fans.

Both FIFA 18 and PES 18 were reviewed well, with the games holding an identical rating on Metacritic for the PS4 version.

FIFA and PES fans tend to be set in their ways, not wanting to venture to a rival franchise - and sticking to what they know best.

But Konami looks to be trying to tempt FIFA 18 fans to make the jump to their long-running football seres with a new free-to-play version of PES 2018.

PES 2018 lite is now available to download on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

The free-to-play version lets players jump into the online myClub and PES League mode, as well as offline exhibition and the training mode for free.

Modes that are missing included the beloved single-player Master League mode, which has been a long-term fixture of Pro Evolution Soccer.

The description for PES 2018 lite on the PS Store page says: “Create your very own dream team with myClub, where current and historic superstars can be signed.

“World renowned legendary players like Beckham and Maradona feature, as well as partner club legends Liverpool's Gerrard, Owen, McManaman, and Inter's Zanetti, Stanković, and Toldo.

“More Legend players will appear in-game throughout the year in myClub!”
