Concord is unexpectedly taken offline
Sony promises complete refunds
Concord will be unexpectedly taken offline on September 6, 2024, and players will be getting their complete refunds announced by Sony.
"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.
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 away. 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. Sony will likely 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."
Less than two weeks after launch, Concord was withdrawn
Concord was released on August 23, 2024, which means that it was taken offline for all users two weeks after it was first made available for purchase and only 11 days after its introduction. After September 6, even those who purchased Concord will not be allowed to play.
In the multiplayer game "Concord," which has been likened to the well-known shooter "Overwatch," players form a team of five Freegunner space outlaws from the spacecraft Northstar for online matches against other teams. It became exceedingly difficult to find matchups during gameplay because there were so few individuals playing "Concord."
