One of the users managed to capture the moment the game was closed right during the match:
Concord's affairs were going pretty badly even from the moment of beta testing, when the game attracted just over two thousand players on Steam. At the exit, the peak online was even less, failing to overcome the 700-person mark and decreasing day by day. According to analysts, the game, worth almost $200 million, sold only 25 thousand copies on PC and PS5. This was probably the last point for the publisher, Sony, who decided to close the failed project and return the players' money for the purchase.
