You can’t even get in a game on the PS5. It’s dead.

Concord players have started reporting trouble finding matches as more abandon the game

It's probably the idea that going free to play will save it.
(But I guess they'll have to at least ATTEMPT something).

what is that abomination of character design in the OP. No wonder people arent playing the game.

It wouldnt help the online MP player base, but every shooter should have bots. Whether it's to fill out a team or someone wants goof around on their own just against the AI, it helps with retaining players.
I've had my fun playing COD 4 Remastered and going 300-3 against Recruit bots. Even if the bots cheat (COD sniper bots can track you staring through the bus on Bog!), it's better than zero bots.
I dont get how old ass games like Unreal could have bots and a modern day game cant.

100 PC players will not make much difference…

It topped out at just under 2400 concurrent Steam players during the free open beta. Everyone saw this flop coming from a mile away holy shit. I can’t believe they went ahead with the $40 launch as planned.
They should refund everyone, make it F2P, and plan on shutting the servers down in a month or two.

They could add sexy thic female characters as skins. They seem to be under represented.

On reddit some people are questioning if they should stop selling the game in some regions due to not being able to find matches for a few of the modes, and I would imagine it's a self-fulfilling cycle at this point where even more players will drop off because of the wait times.
On the bright side, when it goes F2P we can have another thread laughing about how low the numbers are all over again.

Your strategy for saving a game that bombed because of its characters is making it f2p and hiding said characters behind a paywall?
Tbh they have probably given away more free keys to the game than the number of current active players

Some characters not all
Its not about saving it, but increasing the player count so paid members can find games

Yeah, I give up lol. I mean, it's hilarious to me anyway so I guess it's fine. I don't know what I was thinking.Come on now. We have more Concord threads than people playing the game.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Is it dead on PS as well? I thought more were on console and probably have cross-play turned off.

Nah. Probably a room with a bunch of immature people blaming the gamers and how its all their fault.

this does not surprise me at all
even in Halo Infinite, a game with multiple times the player count of Concord, I had at times issues finding matches during certain times of the day back when I still played it.
so at less than 600 players on steam (Halo Infinite at that time I had issues, usually had 3k+ daily players) I am not surprised at all.
now, as far as I am aware, Concord has less modes than Halo, so the players are more concentrated towards the same modes. which helps I assume.

There are far more on PS5. But queue times are increasing regardless.

They made a paid GaaS, of a oversaturated genre (hero shooter), with PSN sign in mandatory on PC and full of woke shit....And they wonder what could go wrong?

Even if it’s got 100 times more concurrent users on PS5 than PC, that would still be abysmal numbers, especially spread across multiple playlists.
I’ve seen several #PS5Share tagged posts on social media complaining about 8+ minute wait times in the Rivalry playlist and that the only consistent matchmaking is in the Brawl playlist where the basic TDM and Kill Confirmed game types are.

How much money does Sony want to lose?
Some suits over there must be fuming. It would be smart business to offer refunds an apology and make best of the rubble.
Another solution is to redesign the characters/aesthetic of the game (admitting that the dei stuff is poison)
Work on balance and gameplay changes.
Will they though?
Must suuuck being trapped by ideologues when, let’s be honest, most suits couldn’t give two sh*ts about DEI.
I think money will talk eventually. I see them cancelling the game in less than a month. (2 weeks I think)
Sonys gotta sleep in the bed they made.

This post made me realize I needed to update this meme from years ago...
Should be changed from "what every boy wants" to "what every they/them wants".

I had a chance to try the game today. Plays really well and the production values are top notch. Nothing earth-shattering, but if this was F2P I could actually see myself playing it for a month or two.
Sony could have had something here, but they really shot themselves in the foot with the character designs, price and release date.

Crazy to think it lasted a week.

Fuck these lazy ass "8 year dev cycle" (my fat ass it took them 8 years to make this) games.
What a piece of shit.

If it took them 8 years to make this game, they are the worst developers on planet earth.

When lectures, shaming and name calling don’t sell your game.
