Concord may have sold as few as 25,000 copies across both platforms, it’s claimed.

According to a new report from IGN, citing analyst Simon Carless, it’s claimed that the game has sold around 10,000 copies on Steam, and just 15,000 on PlayStation.

PlayStation doesn’t typically release specific sales figures. Concord has struggled to find a player base on Steam since its launch. The game, which was developed by Firewalk and published by PlayStation currently has 70 players in-game.

The game has received just over 700 Steam reviews, 512 of which are positive, 220 of which are negative.

According to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, the game “ranked 147th US PS5 daily active players across all titles, with fewer than 0.2% of Monday’s active PS5 players playing the game.”

VGC’s review of Concord called it “a fine shooter divorced from the reality of its genre.”

“Concord is a good shooter built on a release strategy and price point that would have been far more at home in 2017, and feels dated today. The game – which is a multiplayer-only, live-service hero shooter – does provide fun, but even at its best, we never felt strongly enough about it that we’d tell someone with three or four other live-service games on the go to drop what they’re doing, pay $40 and jump on.”
