Concord's Future Uncertain as Updates Continue Amid Speculation

PlayStation's costly FPS, Concord, faces speculation of a free-to-play relaunch after backend updates are detected on Steam.

  • Concord, a PlayStation FPS, was pulled from sale just two weeks after launch due to poor performance and lack of player interest.
  • Despite its removal, SteamDB shows that Concord's backend files have been updated daily, sparking rumors of a potential free-to-play relaunch.
  • The game's initial failure is attributed to entering a saturated hero shooter market dominated by free-to-play titles like Overwatch and Apex Legends.
  • Industry speculation suggests that making Concord free-to-play might be a strategy to recoup some of the significant development costs.
  • Firewalk Studios, the game's developer, is reportedly facing internal challenges, including the resignation of Concord's director and potential layoffs.
