Concord marked the latest attempt by Sony to capitalise off of the hype and perceived popularity surrounding live-service games. Released on the 23rd of August, the Destiny x Overwatch like Hero Shooter lasted less than two weeks before being fully shut down by Sony – refunding all of the roughly 25,000 copies which were estimated to have sold during that time.

Over the past generation, we have seen Sony increasingly embrace the PC gaming market more and more, bringing its back catalogue of games to the platform, as well as some select day-one releases.
