Concord Shutting Down 2 Weeks After Launch; PlayStation Offering Refunds

Expert Verified By

One of Gaming History's Biggest Failures!

Story Highlight
  • Deemed as PlayStation’s next big title, Concord fell extremely short of expectations.
  • As a result, PlayStation has decided to shut down the title soon.
  • The game will go offline on September 6, and those who bought the game would get a refund.
  • This is extremely poor from a PlayStation title, however, we hope such instances do not repeat in the future.

Concord was intended to be PlayStation’s next major hit following the positive reception of Helldivers 2. However, it quickly became one of their most poorly received games.

As a result, PlayStation has acknowledged the game’s failure and decided to shut down the title just two weeks after its release.

Why it matters: The failure of Concord highlights that even industry giants like PlayStation can experience significant missteps, sometimes to the extent of abandoning a title entirely.

Analyst Believes Concord Has Sold Less Than 25k Units On Steam & PS5

PlayStation made the announcement in a blog, stating that Concord will be taken offline on September 6, 2024, with game sales stopping immediately.

Refunds will be issued to those who purchased the game on Steam and Epic Games. For physical copies bought from retailers, customers are advised to follow the retailer’s refund policy.

In the blog post, the Concord team expressed gratitude for the support and community that formed around the game. While some aspects received positive feedback, they acknowledged that other elements and the overall launch fell short of expectations.

Concord Developers Call Haters Talentless Freaks

The game’s shutdown just two weeks after release indicates that PlayStation had little confidence in the title’s potential for post-launch recovery.

While this is sad to see that the gaming industry has to go through such challenging times, we hope that PlayStation and the developers behind Concord can bounce back from this failure, and make it serve as a teaching for them.
