Scalpers are currently trying to sell physical copies of Concord<\/a> for much more than its recommended retail price after Sony pulled the hero shooter from sale just 11 days after launch.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Physical copies of Concord have been pulled from store shelves ahead of a server shut down on September 6, 2024. The PlayStation 5 and PC hero shooter launched to abysmal player numbers<\/a> with analysts estimating as few as 25,000 copies were sold<\/a> physically and digitally.<\/p>\n

Scalpers who still have a sealed copy of the game are therefore seeing it as an opportunity to make some money, listing Concord on eBay for double or even triple its price. Some sellers still have it available for its standard price of $39.99 so it’s unlikely many of these will sell just yet, however.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

“Ships overnight on September 4, get on September 5 so you can play for a day before the servers shut down,” reads one listing for an opened copy priced at $119.88. “On September 6 the game will be a rare unplayable collector’s item.”<\/p>\n

A sealed copy is currently listed for $179.99, though at least warns players of the September 6 takedown and says “buy at your own discretion.” Its next comment is a tad more questionable: “Get ready for an epic gaming experience with Concord for the Sony PlayStation 5,” it says. “This rare and highly sought after game is being recalled and is available now in a USA sealed package.”<\/p>\n

There is no denying this edition of Concord will be rare, but whether or not it becomes valuable remains to be seen. It’s likely only a few thousand are out in the wild though, given how poorly Concord sold and how low physical sales are compared to digital<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Concord has an unclear future in more ways than one, and while developer Firewalk has said it’s going back to the drawing board and suggested a free-to-play re-launch may be on the cards, Sony has made no such guarantee.<\/p>\n

It was under development for eight years according to one developer and likely cost the company tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, to make. After all that, it was on sale for a total of 11 days<\/a>.<\/p>\n
