Overview

  • Concord's player count fails to surpass 700 on Steam, with only a few thousand on PS5.
  • High upfront cost of $40 deters players in a market dominated by free-to-play titles.
  • Oversaturation of the hero shooter genre and lack of unique features contribute to its poor reception.
  • Extended development time of eight years results in a game that feels outdated.
  • Minimal marketing and unfortunate release timing further hinder Concord's success.
