Sony Reportedly Shut Down 2 More Live Service Games

Notwithstanding the cancellation of the live service games, Bend and Bluepoint will not be shut down.

PlayStation’s Co-CEO Herman Hulst confirmed Sony will continue to invest in live service games, despited the outcome of Concord.

Arguably the biggest takeaway from the AAA games that flopped in 2024 is that big budgets don’t translate to successful games.

Barely a month passed without the announcement of a game studio closure.

In the farewell message, Firewalk called its employees “world-class” and said any studio would be fortunate to work with them.

Sony is pulling the plug on Firewalk Studios and permanently sunsetting Concord citing the game’s poor reception.

FIrewalk will refund every player who has already purchased Concord—whether they purchased via Steam, Epic Games Store, or other retail outlets.

Concord headlined PlayStation’s May 30 State of Play. More details have emerged about the game following the opening of the books for pre-order.

At the end of Thursday’s State of Play, Keighley asked, “How would you grade today’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast?”

The first game revealed at PlayStation’s State of Play was Concord, a new 5v5 first-person shooter, developed by Firewalk Studios.
