Concord, a new hero shooter by Firewalk Studios and Sony, was revealed at the May 30 State of Play. The game is set to launch in August, with a beta test a month earlier. But how do you access the Concord beta test? We’re here to answer.
How to play Concord beta
To access Concord‘s beta test, you will have to pre-order the game. At the time of writing, pre-orders are not yet live but will begin as of June 6, Sony announced at the State of Play. It is not yet clear if Concord‘s early access beta test will be available to those who apply for it, or non-pre-ordering players. The beta launches at some point in July, about a month before the game’s official release on Aug. 23. It is Sony’s entrance into the hero shooter market, a genre almost every big publisher seems to be trying to get in on these days.
What platforms is Concord available on?
Concord, being a Sony title, will first and foremost be available on the PlayStation 5. However, keeping in line with recent moves, Sony will also simultaneously launch the game on PC. We still don’t know which storefront Sony will choose for its hero shooter, but given its track record with other ports and simultaneous releases, it’s highly likely it will be Steam. Helldivers 2 was another simultaneous PC/Steam release and proved to be Sony’s most successful PC title to date, which further solidifies the assumption that Concord will be hosted on that storefront as well.
