Sony's Concord Faces Major Setback with Disappointing Sales

The new multiplayer shooter has sold only 25,000 copies across PS5 and PC, raising questions about its future.

Overview

  • Concord was in development for 8 years and cost millions but failed to gain traction.
  • Sales estimates suggest 10,000 units sold on Steam and 15,000 on PlayStation 5.
  • Analysts attribute the poor performance to lack of marketing and a crowded hero-shooter market.
  • Critics argue that the $40 price tag is not the primary issue; the game failed to stand out.
  • Sony is exploring options, including potential shifts to a free-to-play model.
