Concord open beta release countdown – Exact start time and date

Concord’s early access beta may be over, but there’s one more open beta on the way. So, if you haven’t tried out Firewalk Studios’ hero shooter yet, there’s still time—and we’re here to tell you exactly when you can jump in.

Concord‘s beta comes jam-packed with content, and it’s a final test for the developer and servers ahead of the game’s launch in August. Here’s everything you need to know about the Concord open beta and when you can get involved.

Concord open beta release time and date

The Concord open beta runs from July 18 to July 21. While Firewalk hasn’t confirmed exact timings, we expect the open beta to start and end around the same time the early access beta did, meaning it would begin on July 18 at 12pm CT / 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST (or July 19 at 3am AEST) and end on July 21 at 2pm CT / 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST (or July 22 at 5am AEST). We will update this article when the developer confirms the release timings.

Until then, below you’ll find a countdown to the expected Concord open beta start time.

This is the second beta test for Concord, with the early access test taking place between July 12 and July 15. This early access open beta was originally due to finish on July 14 but was extended a day, so we may see the open beta extended, too.

What’s in the Concord beta?

Those who partake in the Concord open beta can try out all 16 Freegunners, as well as five maps and four game modes: Trophy Hunt, Cargo Run, Area Control, and Clash Point. You can play with friends across both console and PC, with crossplay enabled during both weekends.

Developer Firewalk will also premier the first “cinematic vignette”—a brief clip that acts as a weekly lore entry, giving players a glimpse into the Northstar Crew and their story.
