Summary
Concordwas outsold by the retro PlayStation 2 titleTimeSplitters 2in the UK during its launch month, according to recent digital sales data collected in the region. This is yet another indicator of the game’s poor sales performance before its shutdown on September 6, with some estimates stating that only 25,000 copies ofConcordhad been sold globally.
Released on July 11, 2025 for PS5 and PC,Concordwas a 5v5 hero shooter from the Washington-based PlayStation subsidiary Firewalk Studios. Although theConcordbeta did receive some positive reception from players just a month prior, the title’s incredibly low player count at launch spelled trouble for its future. Just a week and a half later, on September 3, Firewalk Studios announced thatConcordwas shutting down on September 6, which shocked many PlayStation fans. All digital sales were immediately pulled from the PlayStation Store, Steam marketplace, and Epic Games Store, and refunds for both digital and physical copies were issued to all players.

TimeSplitters 2 Outsold Concord in August 2024
SinceConcorddigital sales ceased completely on September 3, the game’s overall digital sales for the month of September 2024 are expected to be incredibly meager in the UK. With well over 200 titles tracking higher thanConcord, it’s clear that gamers in the region prioritized many other titles in the month of August. TheTimeSplittersgames may perform admirably in September as well, as trophy support was recently added for the classic titles.
UK physical sales data forConcordwas not disclosed for the month, but it likely exhibited similar sales performance to the digital version.Concordis still unplayable with a physical copy, and it’s unclear when or if the game will return at a later date as a free-to-play title.
