Last night’s news that Sony is pulling the plug, perhaps temporarily, on its new live service hero shooter Concord will not have come as a big surprise to many.
Within days of the game’s launch, reports emerged that it had sold an estimated 25,000 copies – 10,000 on Steam, 15,000 on PlayStation – and player counts were low. According to SteamDB, Concord peaked at 697 concurrent users on August 24, the day after launch, and dropped sharply after that.
Even as we recorded this week’s GI Microcast on Monday morning, discussing the myriad reasons behind Concord’s struggles, just 39 people were playing.
