Steam Updates Keep Concord Afloat

Despite being swiftly pulled from digital stores after a disastrous launch, Sony's hero shooter, Concord, continues to receive updates on Steam. This unexpected activity has sparked considerable speculation among gamers.

Concord's Post-Launch Steam Updates Fuel Speculation

The game's Steam page has seen a flurry of updates since September 29th, tracked by SteamDB. These updates, attributed to accounts like "pmtest," "sonyqae," and "sonyqae_shipping," suggest potential backend improvements and quality assurance efforts.

Concord's initial August release was a significant setback. Priced at $40, it faced stiff competition from established free-to-play titles like Overwatch and Valorant. Its short lifespan and overwhelmingly negative reception led Sony to pull the game and offer refunds within weeks.

The ongoing updates are fueling theories about a potential resurgence. Some believe Concord might relaunch as a free-to-play game, addressing the price point criticism that contributed to its initial failure. Given Sony's reported $400 million investment, attempts to salvage the project are not entirely surprising.

This period of development could involve significant gameplay overhauls, addressing complaints about character design and overall game mechanics. However, Sony's silence regarding Concord's future leaves the game's fate uncertain. Even a free-to-play model would present a substantial challenge in the already competitive hero shooter market.

For now, Concord remains unavailable, and its future remains shrouded in mystery. Only time will tell if these updates herald a successful comeback or if Concord will remain a cautionary tale of a high-budget flop.
