Concord Shutting Down This Week

The PlayStation.Blog has "an important update on Concord," announcing the troubled 5v5 PC and PlayStation 5 shooter is ceasing sales immediately, and will go offline on Friday, just two weeks after its launch to reportedly weak sales. While the update says the plan is to "explore options," all purchases are being refunded right now. No further action should be required of PC gamers, who are told that Epic or Steam will be in touch shortly with a refund confirmation. Here are some details on the decision:
Concord fans — we’ve been listening closely to your feedback since the launch of Concord on PlayStation 5 and PC and want to thank everyone who has joined the journey aboard the Northstar. Your support and the passionate community that has grown around the game has meant the world to us.

However, while many qualities of the experience resonated with players, we also recognize that other aspects of the game and our initial launch didn’t land the way we’d intended. Therefore, at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players.

While we determine the best path ahead, Concord sales will cease immediately and we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased the game for PS5 or PC. If you purchased the game for PlayStation 5 from the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Direct, a refund will be issued back to your original payment method.
