Delay the game to make it more appealing to all masses.
Also F2P will help.
Honestly I doubt either will happen.
Concord’s second free weekend on PS5 sees 8% player drop.

- Start date

Everybody with PS+ could play the first week of the Beta… that means in a site of hardcore trophy players is close to everybody… all 3.1m have access to the beta in both week.
That is why they data and claim are useless.
It could means…
- Some people played the first week and didn’t bother with the second week for whatever reason.
- Some people didn’t play both weeks… some week 1 and others week 2.
So the 8% drop means nothing at all.

This part is particularly important, but the 8% is relative. We don't know what the 8% drop is from, which you basically also say in your response. Hence why the polling doesn't really mean anything.
It could be an 8% drop from 100K or 8% drop from 10K; there's just no way of really knowing. And also as you said, the concurrents from one weekend to the other could be comprised of mostly unique (non-repeating) players across them both, which would be a wider reflection that concurrent numbers aren't the total best parameter to judge a game's online health by.
At best they tell you that at any given time, you can expect X number of people playing that game online, but the total player base in the course of a week could be 15x, 20x the concurrents or even larger even just talking of unique players).
There are no reliable PlayStation charts for engagement other than the top 10 in your country on the OS or app. Everything else is bs. Personally, I would ban such reporting. Circana employs similar incomplete and flawed methods.
No, as by mentioned someone else earlier… They’re reporting data sampled from 3.1 million users and see what percentage tried Concord. And then extrapolate some potential global guess of exposure/engagement. At the end of the day there will be a sample bias.
To revamp concord you would have to ditch the concord name/branding.
Do a rework to the heroes aka make them much much more esthetically pleasing/cool ditch pronouns
Do a rework to the story & ditch the weekly cgi trailers
Do a rework to gameplay/game balance. Increasing movement & lessening TTK.
Make a core mode that distinguishes Concord. Or copy paste overwatch main mode that seems to be working out for Marvel rivals. Either copy 2cp or push payload which I think would work better then the COD style deathmatch mode tbh.
Make the game free with cosmetic item shop & battlepass founding free content
All of this would take 1-2 years & it will likely still be DOA. It’s just better to just take the hit support the game for 6 month & move on to an established ip. Fundamentally Concord as a game feels good as a FPS to play & the art style & game performance on PS is really well optimized maybe give them the Killzone ip & make a spin off that’s grounded, dark & mature both make a singleplayer & multiplayer live service for this new Killzone. Because green lighting a new ip from Firewalk after this disaster would not be smart & take 5-7 years.
Or I seen the idea of Firewalk working on TLOU online which wouldn’t be that bad of idea. Maybe go to Bandai namco to use one of there support studio to help creating content & release TLOU online with season 2/3 of TLOU show
I wonder…
If their call is fake.
I tried to get Concord Beta via PSN API but it doesn’t return in the recent played games.
So I question how they are checking these 3.1m profiles they had to see if they played Concord Beta.
Edit - I just create an account liked to my PSN and it can’t show that I played the beta.

Misleading garbage as usual. Everyone with PS+ could play the game the first week which are the people that play multiplayer games like Concord.
8% is not even a large drop, it's actually very small.
And this site polls 2% of the 120 million active PSN users. The purposely give no numbers to be as vague as possible.
I was getting matches immediately on PS5

I'm more interested in the breakdowns of countries. Which regions were the most active in the world
A sample size of 3 million on a population of 120 million is almost 200 times more than enough to give a 1% margin of error with 99% confidence level.

TLDR: yes, the 8% are very accurate.
When you use a diverse and random methodology for that sample size....A sample size of 3 million on a population of 120 million is almost 200 times more than enough to give a 1% margin of error with 99% confidence level.

Focused sample size like people that are hardcore enough to sign up in their sites are not useful at all.
It is like using PSNProfiles data to extrapolate... people already tried and it doesn't work.
And PSNProfiles has way more than just 3 millions accounts.
In political terms it is like go in a Democrat or Republican party and ask people there who they will vote
That is called sample bias.

Because this type if games sucks, and more of it will cone if it succeeds. You can call people insecure if you want.
I am insecure asshole. I hate this type of games. You have a problem with that?
