Konami Confirms it Was Sony's Decision to Remove Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 from July's PlayStation Plus Lineup

Recently, Sony revealed that PES 2019 would be replaced with Detroit: Become Human for this month's PlayStation Plus lineup. While many were pleased with the new lineup it left some wondering why the switch was made. According, Konami the decision was entirely Sony.

In a recent quote given to GameSpot, a Konami spokesperson said that PES 2019’s removal was something entirely done by Sony. “This decision was made by Sony and so please make an inquiry to Sony,” the statement clearly laid out. PES European brand manager Lennart Bobzien also told GameSpot that he was really taken aback by the change. “I cannot really tell you what happened because I just found out today, in the morning when I opened my laptop,” Bobzien said. “I can’t really explain.”

The change made to the lineup is entirely Sony's decision its having Konami blindsided by the news. The news was sudden, given the confirmation of the July 2019 lineup and launch, but having such a sudden shift without telling your partner does seem unprofessional.
