Sony has announced that new PlayStation 5 and PC shooter Concord, which released on 23 August, is to be taken offline just two weeks later, with refunds issued to every player who bought it.
The game is a team-based hero shooter in the vein of Activision-Blizzard’s hit Overwatch, pitting teams of five against each other in tight combat arenas, and its launch has been one of the most high-profile flops of the gaming year. It has recorded player counts in the mere hundreds on Steam, the most popular PC marketplace, and is estimated to have sold fewer than 25,000 copies, according to analysts at GameDiscoverCo.
