PES 2013 Patch 2017
PES 2013 Patch 2017 is a squad and content update for Konami’s 2012 football game, built by the PESEdit team — for years the most respected patch group in the PES community. It brings the game’s rosters, kits and transfers forward to the 2016/17 season, fixing the one thing that ages a football game faster than anything else. The base game underneath is unchanged, which is the point: PES 2013 is widely regarded as the last great entry of the pre-Fox Engine era, and at 1.6 GB on DirectX 9.0c the patched result still runs on almost any PC or on an Android phone through Winlator.
What a Patch Actually Changes
A football game goes out of date the moment a transfer window closes, and Konami stopped supporting PES 2013 long ago. Patches like this one exist to keep it current. PESEdit 6.0 with the Summer Transfers update rebuilds the squad database to reflect real rosters, adds correct kits and badges for teams Konami never licensed, updates player faces and ratings, and corrects league and competition names that shipped as approximations.
This matters more in PES than it would elsewhere, because Konami’s licensing was always partial. In the unpatched game, Manchester United appears as Man Red and many European sides carry invented names with generic kits. A good patch replaces all of that with the real thing. The other reason PESEdit built a reputation is care over the details — stadium assignments, referee kits, boot and ball selections — which is exactly the work an official update would never bother with. Note that this is a patch rather than a game: it requires a PES 2013 installation to apply to, and the base game is linked below.
Why PES 2013 Is Still Worth Patching
The reason people still maintain a game from 2012 is that its football holds up. PES 2013 was built around individuality and manual control: passing is weighted by how long you hold the button, through balls are aimed rather than assisted, and the first touch depends on the angle you receive the ball at. Star players feel genuinely distinct, with Konami’s player ID system giving specific athletes their real running styles and signature techniques.
Shooting is the part the community rates most highly — power builds quickly, placement is unforgiving, and a well-struck shot from outside the box feels earned rather than granted. Defending rewards positioning and timing over sliding tackles, and the AI holds a coherent shape rather than swarming the ball. Its weaknesses are real too: goalkeepers can be inconsistent on low shots, referees are erratic about advantage, and the presentation was already behind FIFA’s in 2012 and looks far worse now. Menus are slow and plain. What survives is the ninety minutes, and for a lot of players that has always been enough.
What It Feels Like to Play
A patched PES 2013 is a strange and pleasant thing — a fourteen-year-old game with current-looking squads, playing football that many people still prefer to what replaced it. Matches are quick and decided by timing rather than reflexes, and scoring after building a move properly is satisfying in a way the more assisted modern entries rarely manage. Visually it is unmistakably from 2012, with simple crowd models and flat lighting. On a phone through Winlator with a gamepad it runs effortlessly, and the small install size makes it one of the easiest football setups here.

| PC (Desktop) | Recommended | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 / AMD Athlon 64 X2 | NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT / ATI Radeon HD 3650 (512 MB) | 2 GB | Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) |
| Android / Winlator | Minimum | Snapdragon 450 / MediaTek Helio G35 | Adreno 506 / PowerVR GE8320 | 2 GB | Android 8+ / Winlator 7.0+ |
| Android / Winlator | Recommended | Snapdragon 665 / Helio G85 | Adreno 610 / Mali-G52 | 3 GB | Android 9+ / Winlator 7.1+ |
A DirectX 9 game from 2012 places almost no load on anything current, and the patch adds data rather than rendering cost. Desktop systems hold the frame cap without effort, integrated graphics included. Under Winlator with Box86 or Box64 and the Turnip driver, entry-level chips maintain a locked 60 FPS at native resolution through full matches. The one thing worth knowing about patched installs is that larger patches add higher-resolution kit and face textures, which raises memory use slightly — on a 2 GB device, reducing crowd quality one step is enough to absorb it. Keep the in-game frame limiter enabled, since match pace is tied to frame rate.
Is It Worth Installing?
PES 2013 Patch 2017 solves the specific problem that stops people returning to older football games: outdated squads. PESEdit’s work is thorough, covering kits, badges, faces and league names that Konami never licensed, and it sits on top of a match engine that a large part of the PES community still considers the series’ high point. The base game’s age shows in its presentation, its goalkeepers and its menus, and none of that is fixed here. If you want manual, timing-driven football with current-looking teams on a low-spec PC or Android through Winlator, this remains one of the best combinations available.
