Sony's 'Concord' Faces Challenges After Disappointing Beta

The upcoming hero shooter struggled to attract players during its open beta, raising concerns about its market viability.

Concord's open beta peaked at just 2,388 concurrent players on Steam, with numbers steadily declining over the weekend.
Critics and players noted the game's lack of originality, comparing it unfavorably to established titles like Overwatch and Valorant.
Gaming personality Parris Lilley suggested delaying the game and restructuring its $40 price point to improve its chances.
Despite solid gameplay mechanics, Concord's character designs and overall aesthetic failed to resonate with a broader audience.
The game's performance contrasts sharply with the success of Sony's previous multiplayer hit, Helldivers 2.
