Concord launches to fewer than 700 peak players on Steam after 8 years in development

And so the day has finally come—Concord is out, to barely any excitement. The game, which reportedly spent eight years in the oven, has failed to attract a significant audience among hero shooter enthusiasts and is sporting fewer than 700 players on its big day.

According to SteamDB, Concord has 685 concurrent players at time of writing on a fine Friday afternoon in the U.S., which is already below its 24-hour peak of 697. The Sony-published hero shooter aimed to dip its toes into the market and take on the behemoths dominating the genre like Overwatch 2 and Team Fortress 2. To put things into perspective, Valve’s genre-defining, 17-year-old title has over 66,000 concurrent players as of this article, and Blizzard’s counterpart sports over 55,000 on Steam (not taking console or Battle.net players into account), making Concord nearly 100 times less popular than the former.
