The numbers of Concord on Steam just a few hours after its launch, the news is not at all encouraging, with the multiplayer shooter from Firewalk Studios and Sony It hasn’t even reached the 1,000 concurrent player mark on the Valve platform.
At the time of writing, the peak was 697 simultaneous players.
