Concord on PlayStation 5 & PC
As someone who never bought heavily into hero shooters during the heights of the Overwatch craze, I was more than a little intrigued by Firewalk Studios’ take on the genre with Concord. It’s one of PlayStation’s earnest attempts at breaking into the live-service space, a feat met with great success with the release of Helldivers 2 in early 2024.
With Concord, PlayStation is doubling down on its recent live service push, hoping to reach the same lofty heights and persistent popularity as other shooters in this now overcrowded genre. Will this live-service experiment succeed or will it be a quickly forgotten failure? Only time will tell.
