Concord’s Struggles: Low Sales and Player Count Plague Sony’s New Shooter

Sony’s new multiplayer shooter, Concord, may have sold just 25,000 copies according to analysts. Since its release, the game has been plagued by low sales and a small active player base. On PC, Concord reached an all-time high of just 697 players, and currently, only 82 people are playing. Mat Piscatella from Circana noted that the game has suffered from low awareness and purchase intent. The game’s premium price point, in a market where free-to-play games are thriving, limited its audience. Could Concord have been more successful if it had launched as a free-to-play title?
