PlayStation's Concord Faces Major Setbacks in Gaming Market

The new hero shooter struggles with low player engagement and critical reception, highlighting significant industry challenges.

Concord's player count fails to surpass 700 on Steam, with only a few thousand on PS5.
High upfront cost of $40 deters players in a market dominated by free-to-play titles.
Oversaturation of the hero shooter genre and lack of unique features contribute to its poor reception.
Extended development time of eight years results in a game that feels outdated.
Minimal marketing and unfortunate release timing further hinder Concord's success.
