- Concord is only a few days away from its release, but there’s no hype for this hero shooter.
- The game is currently at the 31st spot on the list of the most pre-ordered PS5 titles.
- The situation is even worse on Steam, where the game is nowhere to be found in the top 700 wishlisted titles.
Although PlayStation has had better exclusives this year than it may initially appear, the gaming giant’s next exclusive seems to be a disaster in the making. Concord is set to launch on 23 August, but it seems most PS5 users are willing to skip this release.
This is also reflected in the current pre-orders on PlayStation, with Concord below the top 30 most purchased games.
Why it matters: This year has already had its fair share of disappointing releases. All signs point to Concord becoming yet another addition to this list.
Concord is an ambitious project from PlayStation, but the game has faced criticism from the beginning. Starting from the open beta, it only gathered a few thousand Steam players. This led to concern, but Firewalk was still hopeful it could deliver.
As shared on Twitter, the game hasn’t been able to leave its mark on PlayStation’s best sellers charts. At the time of writing, Concord is the 31st most pre-ordered game, which is highly disappointing for a first-party release.
Even more niche games like Astro Bot seem to be doing better, while more well-known titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Black Ops 6 are miles ahead. Looking at Steam, the result isn’t much different.
Previously spotted below the top 700 most wishlisted games, Concord hasn’t been able to climb the list. It is still the 706th most wishlisted title on the platform.
As mentioned earlier, there has been no shortage of criticism around Concord. Whether it be the character designs or the gameplay itself, audiences have highlighted various negatives since the initial reveal.
Firewalk has also confirmed at least three seasons for the hero shooter, so the studio has no option but to commit to post-launch content. The team will now look toward turning the tables during these seasons.
