Konami has kept with the theme of the previous release. They announced a special "Barcelona Edition", along with a pre-order bonus content for digital downloads and physical disc versions. Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool F.C. were confirmed as being licensed at E3 2017, FC Schalke 04, Valencia CF, Fulham F.C., and the Brazil national football team are licensed as well. France national football team license was confirmed in the online beta.
Konami released a demo version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 for download on August 30, 2017 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The demo version includes limited stadiums, clubs, and feature sets.
The first data pack, titled Data Pack 1, launched on 5 October 2017, and featured 117 new player face updates, ten of the latest boots, updated backboards in Master League for FC Barcelona, and over 3,000 new player thumbnails. The data pack 2.0 was released on November 15, 2017. This data pack added Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile, and new boots and new player faces; however, the update also removes licenses for Avaí, Fluminense, São Paulo and Vasco da Gama players, replacing them with generic players.
