Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 has been packed with fan service this year.

The game has be filled top to bottom with easter eggs and updates to constantly refine what may be the best football game around.

It’s now getting what might be the most niche bits of collector gear we’ve ever seen in a computer game.

As part of their Data Pack 3/Euro 2016 release, Konami have chosen cover star Gareth Bale by releasing a special cover written in Welsh.

Welsh language reader can head here to download the cover, which is one of the best tributes we’ve seen from a football game to date.

“Gareth Bale is one of the hottest properties in football, and we wanted to do something special to highlight Wales making the competition,” said Erik Bladinieres, European Brand Director of Football for Konami Digital Entertainment B.V.

“Gareth will be vital to Wales’ progression in the competition and we know that the entire team will be loudly backed by everyone in Wales. We are delighted that he will be integral to our UEFA EURO 2016 content and hope that Welsh fans make full use of this special cover.”
