According to industry analyst estimates, only 25,000 units of Concord have been sold

It is estimated that Concord sold only 25,000 copies.

According to IGN, analyst Simon Carless estimates that Concord has sold about 10,000 units on Steam and about 15,000 units on PlayStation.

While we can’t track real-time player counts on PlayStation, there are currently only 71 players online on Steam. The highest concurrent player count in the last 24 hours is 151.

“Concord ranks 147th in PS5 daily active players in the U.S. across all titles, with less than 0.2 percent of active PS5 players as of Monday playing the game,” Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said.

Most analysts asked for comment by IGN suggest that Concord’s troubled launch is the result of “poor marketing, a high price tag and, most importantly, a lack of differentiation in an oversaturated genre.”

“A close-knit group of players may be willing to play a new game for free, but in the current macroeconomic climate, paying $40 is a tall order,” said Rhys Elliott, analyst at Midia Research.

“Launching Concord as a premium game limited viewership and user growth. The more people play a game, the more attractive it is. Network effects are key to building a healthy, engaging ecosystem.

“Concord should have launched free-to-play – or at least as part of the PlayStation Plus subscription – to have a chance in its crowded genre. It’s not too late for that to happen, of course, but the damage may already be done. First impressions matter.”

We gave the hero shooter three out of five stars in Eurogamer’s Concord review, saying: “The question now is, given Concord’s reportedly poor acceptance among players, whether we’ll see that. I certainly hope so. Concord may be a flawed game, but it’s far from hopeless.

“And while the game doesn’t currently emphasize the ‘hero’ portion of the genre, it’s worth remembering that heroes are ultimately defined by their actions, not their costumes.”
