Concord Is Shutting Down After Two Weeks

Sony's latest big exclusive, Concord, launched on August 23 and just 11 days later, the publisher announced that the multiplayer shooter is shutting down. Concord sales were cut off on September 3 and servers will go offline on September 6 (two weeks to the day after the game launched in full) as developer Firewalk and Sony explore options and opportunities for the game's future. Sony is refunding everyone.

Concord had extremely low player numbers on Steam (and presumably PS5 as well) as the game is estimated to have only sold 25,000 copies across all systems as of the end of August. Despite the low player numbers, few could have predicted that Sony would make such a dramatic decision to stop sales, close the servers, and refund everyone after such a short period of time.
