Concord has seemed doomed to fail since the moment it was revealed, and now that the first-person hero shooter is out, not only is it being met with lukewarm reception from critics and audiences at best, the audience that it has been able to find has been shockingly tiny.
In fact, as per industry analyst and GameDiscover.co newsletter author Simon Carless (via report published by IGN), since its release over a week ago, Concord is estimated to have only managed to sell about 25,000 units. Of those, it has supposedly sold 15,000 units on PlayStation, and the remaining 10,000 on PC.
Though those are certainly startlingly low numbers for what’s a major first-party PlayStation release, it’s sadly par for the course for how Concord has performed so far. Upon release, for instance, it debuted with less than 700 concurrent players on Steam. Especially considering the fact that the game had been in in the works for 8 years, that start is far from ideal.
In our review of Concord, we gave it a score of 6/10, saying, “Firewalk Studios’ Concord constrains all of its imagination on the Galactic Guide, leaving little for the gameplay. Responsive gunplay and vibrant visuals can only go so far, especially when the competition is doing better for free.” Read the full review through here.
Concord is available on PS5 and PC.
