Concord, the hero shooter developed by Firewalk Studios, will soon launch its Early Access beta. At first, the beta was only available to those who pre-ordered the game on PlayStation 5 and PC. However, the developers have changed their minds, and the beta will now be available for all PS+ members.
After launching last week on Steam and PlayStation 5, the latest hero shooter on the market, Concord, couldn't have had a more lackluster reception on PC.
An unusual feature of Sony's new hero shooter, Concord, is that deployable items—healing pads, shields, walls, that kind of thing—are persistent between rounds and respawns. If the other team doesn't destroy your stuff, it stays where it is across an entire match.
Concord was announced during a PlayStation Showcase in 2023, and the time has come for the game to be released. The release is just around the corner, with its official release date dropping on August 23rd. Since the game's release is soon, the developers have announced the PC system requirements you will need to play Concord.
The newest game in the live-service hero shooter space is PlayStation’s own Concord. Set in a somewhat ’70s-inspired sci-fi setting, you will fight in teams of mercenaries known as Freegunners in various game modes. Each Freegunner has their own weapon, ability, and roles to stand out from the pack. One aspect that makes Concord unique is that it is attempting to weave an ongoing narrative into the game despite being multiplayer only. Since these games live and die based on how many people are playing it, one would hope PlayStation decided to make Concord cross-platform. Here’s how it’s handled this time around.
The first of two planned beta tests for Sony's competitive hero shooter, Concord, is underway now. This one's for pre-orderers (as well as PlayStation Plus subscribers) and both the PS5 and PC versions are included. The next beta, which runs July 18-21, will be open to everyone.
Sony has opened its Concord Beta Early Access weekend to all PlayStation Plus members.
Concord, the upcoming hero shooter from Firewalker Studios and Sony, "has some juice," executive editor Tyler Wilde declared in a recent preview. Even better, it also has a couple of beta weekends coming very soon, so while I personally would trust Tyler's assessment implicitly, you'll be able to make up your own mind if that's how you prefer to do things—as long as you have a PC up to the task, that is.
