Concord Has Now Also Lost About 80% Of What Was Already A 697-Player Peak

Well, Concord is having a rough time as soon as it’s come out of the oven. The title, launched merely 5 days ago, was received with a fairly underwhelming response by players, hitting a 697-user peak on Steam, and I imagine things didn’t boom up much on the PS5’s side either. I mean, the numbers on that platform could be 15 times higher; that would still mean Concord had a bad launch. 

In any case, the first-person shooter is now down bad, way bad. According to SteamDB, it’s got around 100 players online at the time of writing, setting it up for pretty much one of of the worst game launches of all time. The situation is especially bad because Concord has been in development for 8 years, and as a Sony-published title, a lot of people expected better.  

Reddit seems to be having a field day with making jokes about the game’s situation. One u/BrandonMedia21 says, 

It doesn’t even look like a real game. That cover art looks like it would be in the startup of a game engine.” 

What’s Next For Concord? 

A post on the PlayStation Blog by Firewalk Studios has laid out what Concord players can expect from the title in terms of new seasonal drops from here on out. October will mark the beginning of the shooter’s first season, welcoming a new playable character, map, variants, numerous QoL updates, cosmetics, and other bonuses. 

Things look exceptionally bad for Concord right now, especially considering that even Foamstars had a better launch than this game. Just like the latter, however, if player response toward the shooter does not spice up, we might as well see the game transitioning to an F2P business model.
