Summary
The Platinum trophy for the now-defunctConcordmay very well become one of the rarest Platinums of all time.Concordwas released in late August, and unfortunately for anyone that enjoyed the hero-shooter game, it’s already dead. Sony pulled the plug onConcordjust two weeks after its release thanks to a complete lack of interest from the community at large.
Concordsales were reportedly only around 25,000 units, which is abysmal for a first-party game, to say the least. It didn’t even manage to draw 700 concurrent players on Steam, and it seems its PS5 population wasn’t much bigger. The decision was made to takeConcordoffline, triggering a mad-dash for trophy hunters wanting to unlock the game’s Platinum trophy before it was lost to the void.
Concordplayers tried all kinds of things to unlock the Platinum, with some resorting to flinging themselves off the maps to grind for XP so they could hit level 100 and unlock the Platinum. Now thatConcordis officially offline, it seems as though the game’s Platinum trophy will become one of the rarest in PlayStation history. Only 0.2% ofConcordplayers managed to unlock the Platinum trophy before the servers were taken offline, and when one considers how small the game’s player base was to begin with, it’s clear that hardly anyone has the Plat.
How Many People Have Concord’s Platinum Trophy?
Now, what could preventConcord’s Platinum from being one of the rarest ever is if the live-service hero-shooter somehow mounts a comeback. In the message announcingConcord’s closure,Firewalk indicated that options were being exploredin regard to the game’s future. It’s entirely possible thatConcordwill come back as a free-to-play game at some point down the road. If this occurs, and it keeps the same trophy list, then there’s a chance that a lot more PlayStation gamers will have the opportunity to unlock this particular Platinum trophy.
However, it’s perhaps more likely thatConcordwill never return.Concord’s failure has been catastrophic, with this level of rejection from the gaming community virtually unprecedented.Concordmay need a complete re-brand if it ever hopes to return, and that translates into sinking more money into a game that has already been a massive commercial flop. This makes future projects likeSecret Level’sConcordepisode a little awkward, but it may ultimately be the choice Sony makes. Time will tell, but for now,Concordremains dead, and its Platinum trophy remains unobtainable.
