Frequently Asked Questions About PES 2021 Mobile
Got questions about PES 2021 Mobile? We have compiled the most frequently asked questions and their answers.
Here are the most common questions players ask when trying to jump back into PES 2021 Mobile today.
Can I still play online matches?
No. Konami has permanently shut down the online servers for PES 2021 to focus on eFootball. You can only play local offline matches against the AI or via Bluetooth against a friend. See our offline mode guide for details.
Is it safe to download the APK and OBB from third-party sites?
It carries some risk. You must use reputable archival sites that verify their uploads. Never install an APK that asks for suspicious device permissions (like reading SMS or making phone calls).
Will PES 2021 overwrite eFootball 2024?
If you have the official eFootball 2024 installed from the Google Play Store, attempting to install a PES 2021 APK with the same package name (jp.konami.pesam) will cause an error or an overwrite. You generally cannot have both installed simultaneously unless using an app cloner.
How much storage space do I actually need?
While the files are around 1.5GB to 2GB, you need at least 3GB to 4GB of free space during the installation process so Android has room to extract and place the files properly. Check out the full system requirements to be sure your phone is ready.
