Concord’s Steam numbers were very low at launch. PlayStation exclusive doesn’t even reach 700 players – Concord

It’s been more than 24 hours since Concord launched, and although hero shooter from Firewolf Studios which aimed to provide a solid experience in the genre, many players foresaw this situation after seeing Concord’s performance on Steam in its open beta was poor. It didn’t even reach 2,500 players, and now Concord’s statistics are worse because a few weeks ago you could try it for free, but now playing this game means paying 30 euros.

Yesterday, August 23, 2024, Concord was launched, and what many players expected happened, namely: very few people will be playing the PlayStation-exclusive multiplayer first-person shooter. If we look at SteamDB data, Concord hasn’t even reached 700 concurrent users on Steam, namely 697 people during yesterday. It is possible that a new peak will be reached this weekend, as the community usually has more free time, but more than this is not expected.

At the time of writing this news there are 222 playersA a really small number. Moreover, games like Skull & Bones or Gollum on Steam have received more concurrent users on Valve’s store than the aforementioned Concord. On the other hand, it is unknown how many people play it on PS5, although it is quite possible that there are not many more than on PC. In the short term, several changes to the structure of Concord are expected, in fact, PlayStation has promised players at least a year’s worth of content.

Reasons for Concorde’s failed launch

There are several reasons that could explain the failure of Concorde, one of them is intense competition which he faces. Free games like Overwatch 2 or the upcoming Deadlock or Marvel Rivals make it difficult for a game of the same genre to exist, especially if you have to pay 40 euros for it. There are also those who think that bad marketing and the release date had something to do with it. Whatever it was, if Concorde went into free game modelPerhaps her fate is different and we are talking about a game that has attracted thousands of players.
