How Did The Last of Us Online Get Cancelled by PlayStation But Concord Didn’t?
Following an eight-year long development process, Firewalk Studios and PlayStation recently launched the first-person hero shooter game, “Concord”. As I type this, the game is currently rated 67 on Metacritic, with very few players engaging in it. The player count on PS5 hasn’t been disclosed yet, but on Steam, the game has essentially died out from the start. At its peak, the number of concurrent players reached a mere 697 – a staggeringly low figure for a big-budget game from a PlayStation-owned studio. This number is so low that many people initially thought it was an error in reporting. However, it’s not. The game “Concord” is simply struggling to find its footing. For context, even one of the worst games of the generation, “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum“, managed a higher peak with 758 concurrent players.
