Playtation Concord game : going offline and player getting full refund

Sony recently stated that the PlayStation hero shooter Concord will be discontinued on September 6, 2024, and that all players will receive a complete refund.

"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," director Ryan Ellis said in a statement posted on the PlayStation Blog.

Therefore, Concord will be pulled offline so that Firewalk Studios, the developer, and Sony can "explore options, including those that will better reach our players."

Anyone who bought the game through PlayStation Direct or the PlayStation Store will receive a refund using their original payment methods, and the title will be taken off the market right once. In the upcoming days, refunds will be given to customers who bought on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

While getting a physical refund is a little more difficult, players can still check with specific stores. It is likely that Sony will work with them to set up a mechanism that enables full processing of all reimbursements. Sony stated clearly that "players will no longer have access to the game once refunded."



Concord was taken offline for all players two weeks after it was pulled down from sale eleven days after it was released. After a dismal debut, analysts estimated that it would sell as few as 25,000 copies. Similar to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which had 12,786 players at its high, the game too had a terrible peak in terms of concurrent users on Steam. Sony president Hiroki Totoki has committed to releasing just six of the twelve titles that are currently in development, signaling the company's move away from a live service-heavy future after eight years of development.
