Sony's 'Concord' Faces Disappointing Launch with Low Player Numbers

The new hero shooter from Firewalk Studios struggles to attract players despite eight years of development and a premium release.

'Concord' peaked at just 697 concurrent players on Steam, far below expectations for a major release.
The game has received mixed reviews, with criticisms targeting its uninspired design and lack of innovation.
Concord was developed over eight years and launched with a $40 price tag, unlike many successful free-to-play competitors.
Marketing for the game was minimal, with only two months between its announcement and release.
Sony's decision to release 'Concord' while canceling 'The Last of Us Online' raises questions about its live service strategy.
