PlayStation’s Concord Faces Tough Competition from Indie Game Squirrel with a Gun
PlayStation’s Concord Faces Tough Competition
After eight years of development, the live-service multiplayer game Concord is launched on PlayStation and PC. However, player numbers for Concord are low, while Squirrel with a Gun appears to be a rising hit. Currently, Concord has less than 70 active players on Steam, illustrating a significant gap.
Comparative Player Counts
At the time of writing, Squirrel with a Gun boasts over 568 concurrent players and peaks at around 2,000, significantly overshadowing Concord, which hasn’t crossed 1,000 players since launch.
The Indie Hit Factor
The success of Squirrel with a Gun, stemming from its viral nature and unique concept, contrasts sharply with the decade-long development of Concord, which has struggled to resonate with gamers. This striking difference indicates a shift in player preferences towards fresh, innovative experiences rather than high-budget productions.
For gamers eager to explore alternatives, Squirrel with a Gun is available now on PC, with plans for release on Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 on October 15, 2024.
