Concord - Sony's Latest Video Game Faces Early Shutdown After Poor Sales
Concord's Launch and Immediate Impact
Sony recently launched the highly anticipated game Concord on August 23. Unfortunately, the initial response has not lived up to expectations. According to Ryan Ellis from Firewalk Studios, the game saw a maximum of only 697 concurrent players on SteamDB, demonstrating the lack of interest from gamers.
Sales Figures and Comparisons
With only 25,000 copies sold, Concord struggled significantly in a competitive market. For context, the independently developed Black Myth: Wukong, released shortly before Concord, achieved sales of 10 million copies in just three days. This stark contrast highlights the challenges Concord faced.
- Game Release Date: August 23, 2024
- Sales Figures: 25,000 copies
- Max Concurrent Players: 697 on SteamDB
As a result of these disappointing numbers, Sony has decided to take Concord offline starting September 6, 2024. They'll explore new directions for the game, which may be more appealing to gamers. All players who purchased the game will receive full refunds.
