Concord goes offline, refunds for PS5 and PC purchases

Firewalk Studios says it is exploring options for the future of Concord.

PlayStation Studios is taking Concord offline less than two weeks after its worldwide release. Players who purchased the game on PS5 and PC will receive full refunds. Developer Firewalk Studios says it is currently exploring ideas for the future of its hero shooter.

Firewalk Studios Game Director Ryan Ellis announced the server shutdown for Concord in a PlayStation Blog post. The game will officially go offline on September 6, 2024. In the post, Ellis states that “while many qualities of the experience resonated with players, we also recognize that other aspects of the game and our initial launch did not resonate as we intended.”

This news comes after Concord launched to little fanfare in late August. The hero shooter had an all-time peak of 697 concurrent players on Steam, down from under 100 players when this news broke. Additional information about refunds can be found in the blog post.

We recently published a review of Concord , where we noted its diverse roster as a strong point, despite some dull gameplay. Concord will also be featured in Prime Video’s upcoming video game anthology series, Secret Level.
