PlayStation's Concord Is A Wake Steaming Pile Of S**t (Review)
Sony and Firewalk Studios' Concord launches on PlayStation 5 and PC later this month and faces a battle for success. The team-based hero shooter is, unlike much of its competition, a 'premium' paid title – meaning it's not free-to-play like rival shooters Overwatch 2, Apex Legends and Tom Clancy's XDefiant.
Concord will also soon have more competition on that front; On PC is the hero shooter FragPunk, an upcoming free-to-play game from NetEase. Then there's the launch of Riot Games' Valorant (now live on consoles starting Friday) and the upcoming NetEase's Marvel Rivals (now in a closed beta test).
The latter two free-to-play games have the kind of built-in fanbases that Firewalk would probably love to have. Valorant will launch as a mature product, with four years of content and refinement, and fans of Riot's games know that the studio will continue to support their shooter for years to come; League of Legends will celebrate its 15th birthday later this year. About 6 million people play Valorant daily, according to Tracker Network. And then there's Marvel Rivals, which will feature more than 20 playable Marvel superheroes and villains with decades of history behind them. The Marvel Rivals beta has around 40,000 top players on Steam alone, according to SteamCharts.
