Concord, the new first-person hero shooter from developer Firewalk Studios and publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment that advertises 5v5 sci-fi action and a roster of human and alien characters, has launched to relatively little interest on Steam, according to new SteamDB stats that show how the game only reached a peak of 697 players following its release on August 23. The new game, which is Firewalk Studios’ first project, is now available on PS5 and Windows PCs for $39.99.

Some all-time peak figures for comparison:

  • Concord (697)
  • Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice league (13,459)
  • The Finals (242,619)
  • Helldivers 2 (458,709)

Firewalk on its new game:

  • “We built Concord as a love-letter to aspirational sci-fi adventure, inspired by our favorite art, anime, films, and TV series.”
  • “Combined with our deep love of multiplayer, we’re dedicated to creating those had-to-be-there, down to the wire moments with your friends and creating a sense of adventure as you discover more about the galaxy, the characters you play as, and the worlds you visit every time you log on.”
  • “In Concord, you play as the crew of the Northstar—a group of guns-for-hire known in our galaxy as Freegunners. The Freegunners roam the stars taking high-stakes jobs on worlds across Wild space, where they face other fiercely competitive Freegunner crews.”
  • “Each Freegunner’s abilities are designed to make it so that players of a wide range of skill levels and play styles can be effective—even those that are new to the genre—while providing additional challenge and depth for those looking for high-stakes, high-sweat competitive play.”

The latest promos from PlayStation:
