The paid first-person hero shooter, Concord, officially comes out today, August 20, for those who have opted into the Deluxe edition, which costs $59.99, a $20 bump from the $39.99 base version. The Digital Deluxe edition of Concord not only comes with three days of early access, but it also comes with the Northstar Freegunner and Vale's Monarch Packs. Now, for those waiting for the August 23 launch for the standard edition, here's what you need to know about the release times for Concord so you can hop online with your friends ASAP.
Opinion: Concord Should Just Go Free-to-Play
While there aren't many other hero shooters like Concord out there besides Overwatch at the moment, it's a bit of a gamble to charge $40 for an online experience in this day and age where there are high-quality free-to-play titles like Fortnite and Apex Legends out in the wild that have loads of content for players to dive into. Some people think that Concord is being sent out to fail because gamers might not want to pay money upfront for a game that might be mediocre. Concord transitioning to a free-to-play model with a paid battle pass and microtransactions can help bring in more players on day one, potentially helping it succeed, even if the game ends up being just OK. I think Sony and Firewalk Studios are making a mistake in charging for this new IP. What do you all think?
