Concord Devs Updating PC Game Files, Leading to F2P Speculations – PlayStation LifeStyle

Sony is showing recent activity related to the Concord game files on Steam, suggesting a potential revival of the multiplayer shooter as a free-to-play (F2P) title. Updates noted by observers indicate that Firewalk Studios may be preparing for a F2P release, with recent screenshots from Concord’s Steam database showing activity as of October 8. Despite the speculation, industry analysts are skeptical about whether a F2P model can salvage a project that has faced significant challenges, especially after its disappointing open beta phase. Sony has invested millions into Concord, and transitioning it to a F2P model may be seen as the only viable option moving forward, though the timeline for this change is uncertain. The Firewalk team is preparing for the repercussions of what has been described as one of the biggest flops in video gaming history.
