PlayStation Removes Concord From Stores After Disastrous Launch

PlayStation announced the withdrawal of the game agreement from all stores and refund those who bought it. The company did not wait any longer and decided to put an end to the problem. The game was on the market for less than two weeks, but failed to achieve the figures Sony expected.

In a post published on the PlayStation Blog, Firewalk Studios thanks users agreement and points out that they have been listening to feedback since its launch. Ryan Ellis, game director, noted that while some qualities resonated with players, they recognize that the initial release was not what they thought it would be.

“We have now decided take the game offline from September 6, 2024” Ellis said. “As we determine the best path forward, sales agreement will cease immediately and we will begin offering full refunds to all players who purchased the game on PS5 or PC.”

PlayStation has confirmed this will issue direct refunds to those who purchased the game on PSN or PlayStation Direct. In the case of Steam, Valve will send users a confirmation email once the refund has been processed. Epic Games will follow Valve’s lead and refund players in the coming days.

The decision to turn off the game and return the money means that Users will no longer have access to agreementSince this is an online game that relies on servers, those who have a physical copy won’t have many options, so Sony suggests you request a refund as soon as possible.

Another thing that worked against the game was the price and poor marketing strategy. Sony decided that agreement it will cost 40 dollarsa questionable decision, considering that most online games are free to play. In addition, the company didn’t offer it as a PlayStation Plus game at launchsomething that would help build a player base.

According to Circana analyst Matt Piscatella, Sony hasn’t done everything it could to create the momentum these games require. Instead of promoting the game through the channels needed to build an audience, Sony has limited itself to promoting it through a few retailers, PSN, and a disastrous State of Play trailer. The result: sold less than 25,000 copies on PS5 and PC.

Closing agreement it may be temporaryThe game’s director said they would be exploring other options, “including what works best for players.” It’s likely that Firewalk Studios and PlayStation will make changes to make the game free-to-play, or license it to a third party.

When that day came, death agreement and fiasco Suicide Squad They will become a reference point for those who strive to follow the fashion genre.
