Sony HALTS Concord Sales: What's Behind the Shocking Move

Sony has announced a temporary halt to the sales of the hero shooter Concord, and the game’s servers will also go offline beginning September 6. Game director Ryan Ellis mentioned that the release has not gone as planned, with only an estimated 25,000 copies sold and player counts on Steam often dropping below 100. Players who purchased the game will receive a full refund, though refunds for the PlayStation version may take up to 60 days. In the meantime, the game is undergoing reevaluation by Sony.

Sony halted the sales of Concord due to low player engagement and disappointing sales numbers, prompting a reevaluation of the game's future.

Concord is a first-person shooter developed by Firewalk Studios, aimed at bringing a fresh multiplayer experience to the PlayStation platform. It was positioned as a major title for Sony, yet the reception has been underwhelming, leading to concerns about its viability in the current gaming landscape. The game's emphasis on teamwork and competitive play was intended to attract players, but it appears to have missed the mark significantly.
