Concord: A Quiet Debut on PSN and Steam
Sony’s latest offering, Concord, has made its long-awaited debut on both Steam and the PlayStation 5. However, despite the hype surrounding its release, the game seems to have failed to capture the attention of gamers, with player numbers falling far below expectations.
A Silent Launch on Steam
During its launch weekend on Steam, Concord managed to peak with just 697 concurrent players. This figure pales in comparison to other recent releases, such as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which saw significantly higher player numbers during its first weekend on the platform. The lackluster reception on Steam has raised concerns about the game’s ability to attract and retain a dedicated player base.
Black Myth: Wukong’s Impressive Success
In contrast to Concord’s underwhelming performance, Black Myth: Wukong has seen phenomenal success, selling an impressive 10 million copies in just three days. This puts it on par with the sales pace of Nintendo’s highly anticipated Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Not only has Black Myth: Wukong surpassed Cyberpunk 2077 as the most-played single-player game on Steam, but it also ranks closely behind PUBG as one of the most-played games across all genres in terms of concurrent players.
Exciting Nintendo Showcases
On a different note, Nintendo has teased fans with two upcoming showcases scheduled for tomorrow morning at 7am Pacific Time. While there may not be any announcements regarding a potential Switch 2, the event promises to offer a glimpse into the future of Nintendo’s gaming lineup.
Despite Concord’s lukewarm reception, the gaming world remains abuzz with excitement over the latest releases and developments across various platforms. As the industry continues to evolve, there is no doubt that new and exciting experiences await gamers around the world.
