Concord\u2019s $39.99 price point \u201cprovides the full experience,\u201d Sony has said.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Following Concord’s divisive reveal during Sony’s State of Play showcase<\/a> in May, some had wondered whether the live service hero shooter would release in free-to-play form.<\/p>\n

Confirming Concord launches in both physical and digital standard editions for $39.99 \/ \u00a334.99 \/ \u20ac39.99, Pam Piscitello, director of marketing and operations at developer Firewalk, said in a post on the PlayStation Blog<\/a> that this full experience includes all 16 playable characters (called Freegunners in-game), 12 maps set on various worlds, and six team-based modes.<\/p>\n

This will expand shortly after launch with regular, post-launch updates for all players at no additional cost, Piscitello added.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

\u201cFrom the very beginning, we wanted Concord to be a complete multiplayer-focused experience that combines engaging gameplay, rewarding progression, and a robust roster of characters, maps, and game modes right out of the gate, while also creating a platform for us to evolve and expand the game and universe over time,\u201d Piscitello commented.<\/p>\n

As is the modern video game way, the more expensive Digital Deluxe Edition ($59.99 \/ \u00a349.99 \/ \u20ac59.99) gives early access to Concord when it launches this August. That amounts to up to 72 hours of early access before the global launch on August 23.<\/p>\n

As already announced, a pre-launch beta is set for PlayStation 5 and PC with cross-play support. Those who pre-order get early access to this. Pre-ordering any edition of Concord grants you five codes for the beta early access weekend in July.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

By launching Concord on PS5 and PC simultaneously priced $39.99, Sony is replicating the release strategy employed for Arrowhead\u2019s co-op shooter Helldivers 2<\/a>, which went on to become the fastest-selling PlayStation game of all time with an incredible 12 million copies sold in just 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

Cheaper price points and simultaneous releases on PS5 and PC may be the way forward for Sony\u2019s live service games, if Helldivers 2 and now Concord are evidence of an overall strategy. Sony has insisted it will continue to release its big ticket single-player games on console first before coming to PC later.<\/p>\n
