Concord sales fail to lift off on Steam, where just 660 people played at launch

PlayStation multiplayer shooter Concord has suffered a terrible launch on Steam, where just 660 people played concurrently over the weekend at the game’s peak.

The last 24 hours have seen this number falling further still – now, with a daily peak of just 267 players.

Concord is also available on PlayStation 5, of course, though it doesn’t seem to have made a huge impact there, either. Looking through Sony’s PlayStation Store by “Best Selling” games finds Concord around 30-something places down. (Black Myth: Wukong, predictably, is currently top.)

After eight years in development, Concord has arrived to muted fanfare, in a landscape already saturated by live-service games, and in the same week as breakout hit Black Myth: Wukong.

Concord is the first game released by Firewalk, the PlayStation-owned studio founded by veterans of Activision and Bungie. It’s a hero shooter live service with a £35 pricetag but no paid battle pass, with future seasons funded by the option to purchase additional cosmetic-only items.
