Concord is going offline after just two weeks

Sony and developer Firewalk Studios have announced that they're taking Concord offline just two weeks after releasing the team shooter. Those who bought the $40 game will get a full refund.

Developer Firewalk Studios says it will take the game offline on September 6, just two weeks after its release, to "explore options, including those that will better reach our players." It never had more than 700 concurrent players on Steam after its official launch, which is an abysmal result for a fairly high-profile game. There are lots of reasons why Concord didn't take off, from its so-so gameplay and lack of captivating characters to heavyweight competition from other free-to-play team shooters including Overwatch 2, Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone and Sony's own Destiny 2.
