Pro Evolution Soccer wowed fans on Thursday with the release of a brand new PES 2019 data pack for the game. It brings some nice updates for the FIFA 19 competitor including two brand new stadiums to try out. However, the maintenance on the game and server didn’t come without its share of hiccups. Here are more details about what’s included in PES 2019 Data Pack 4.0, as well as Konami’s news about game issues.
PES 2019 Data Pack 4.0 adds new stadiums, updated players, gear
Data pack 4.0 brings Celtic Park as one of their new stadiums, as well as updated players for the game. Celtic Park is home to the Celtic Football Club based in the Parkhead region of Glasgow. It’s one of two brand new venues available with this update.
There’s also Ibrox Stadium now in the Konami game, home of Major League Soccer’s Rangers club. Updated PES players arrive for that club as well. In addition, the game added a variety of new kicks. In fact, they boast of “15 new boots” from the likes of Nike Football, Puma, and more.

PES 2019 Data Pack 4.0 arrives along with early issues
While the new update is great, there were also some maintenance issues reported via Konami earlier on Thursday. The maintenance occurred in the morning and due to some issues with Club Selection VS Featured Club events, they suspended those two in-game events.
Another Twitter update indicated that some players may not be able to log in immediately to PES 2019 Mobile due to high server loads. They recommended that players experiencing the issues should attempt to log back in at a later time to see if things were working. They also promised to make things better for any players inconvenienced by it by giving the “compensation in due course.”
Following maintenance, our online service is now live. After investigation we found issues with this week's Club Selection and VS Featured Club events. As a result, both events been suspended. (1/2)
