‘Dead on arrival:’ Gamers skeptical of Concord’s future as open beta fails to attract many players
The upcoming hero-shooter Concord just entered open beta, but it failed to attract many players—at least on Steam. The community caught wind of Concord’s poor performance, and are now, players are discussing whether the game even has a future in such a competitive genre.
One discussion is happening in a July 19 Reddit thread, whose creator even went as far as calling the game “dead on arrival” due to its meager 2,338 concurrent players during peak hours. It’s only the first day of the beta, but those numbers look grim, especially for a hero shooter that’s supposed to challenge Overwatch 2 and Team Fortress 2, both of which are free-to-play.
