Concord is one of the biggest stumbles in recent times and one of the most significant failures PlayStation has had in its history. Just weeks after its release, the game from Firewalk Studios will shut down in a few days. Additionally, the title will be removed from both physical and digital stores, and Sony will offer refunds to all players.
Surprisingly, all of this has caused physical copies of Concord to start selling at exorbitant prices. Some people believe the title will become a rare collector’s item as it will disappear completely in just a few days. As a result, some are offering their copy of the hero shooter for PlayStation 5 for as much as $180 USD.
Copies of Concord are offered at exorbitant prices hours before its closure
Concord failed to captivate players with its mechanics, world, and characters, resulting in a very small community from the start. Analysts estimate that the title sold around 25,000 copies on PS5 and PC, which represents a commercial failure for a live-service game.
Sony will refund both physical and digital copies of the game, and it’s unclear what retailers will do with all their Concord stock. Some players believe they can profit from the game’s failure, so they’re offering sealed copies in exchange for rather high prices.
The title debuted at a cost of $40 USD, but on online stores like eBay, it’s already being offered for as much as $180 USD. The listings have a bit of humor, with some describing it as “a sealed copy of the meme game.”
To justify their prices, sellers claim it’s a rare item that will soon disappear from stores. For many, this may seem exaggerated or like a joke, but for others, it makes sense, as it could later be very difficult to find a sealed or open copy of Concord.
It’s likely that more than one collector will want to own a copy of the title for everything it represents for PlayStation, as it’s already considered a piece of the company’s history and one of the great failures in the video game industry.
