The latest addition to the live-service hero shooter genre is PlayStation’s own Concord. Set in a futuristic ’70s-inspired sci-fi environment, players will engage in team-based combat as mercenaries known as Freegunners across various game modes. Each Freegunner comes with their unique weapon, ability, and role, adding diversity to the gameplay. What sets Concord apart is its ambition to incorporate an ongoing narrative into a multiplayer-only game, a rare feat in the industry. Given the importance of player base for such games, it’s refreshing to see PlayStation embrace cross-platform functionality with Concord.
Is Concord Cross-Platform?
Yes, Concord features cross-platform support between PS5 and PC, the only two platforms it is currently available on. This enables players on PC and PS5 to team up and compete against each other in the same matches without being separated onto different servers. It’s worth noting that PC players will need a PSN account to access Concord, a requirement that has sparked some debate in the community.
Concord also offers cross-progression, meaning that if a player switches between PS5 and PC, their unlocks, levels, and cosmetics will carry over to the new platform (requiring the game to be purchased again). This seamless transition ensures that players can continue their progress regardless of the platform they choose.
