The norm for AAA video game pricing seems to be gravitating towards $70, but Sony’s new title, Concord, is breaking away from this pattern by being listed at approximately $40 for the PS5 version.
Concord Sets Its Price Equal to Helldivers 2
While Sony has not officially announced the US dollar price for Concord, its Australian PlayStation store page indicates a price of about $60 AUD, which is around $95 AUD for the Digital Deluxe edition. When converted, this is roughly equivalent to $40 and $63 USD, respectively. These figures are anticipated to be rounded off to $60 in the USA. Significantly, this aligns Concord’s pricing with Helldivers 2, another Sony multiplayer shooter game.
The product page not only sheds light on the price but also on what to expect for those who pre-order Concord. Benefits include beta access for the purchaser and up to four friends, plus the Monarch cosmetic pack containing Vale’s Monarch Frontliner Sniper Skin and the Dead Reckoner Weapon Skin Pack. The Digital Deluxe Edition will offer the Monarch Pack along with a set of 16 character skins, although the details of these skins have yet to be revealed.
There are additional parallels between Concord and Helldivers 2; for instance, both are scheduled for release on PS5 and PC. Announced during the PlayStation showcase in May 2023 by Sony and Firewalk Studios, this Guardians of the Galaxy-esque FPS is slotted for debut on August 23, with pre-orders available starting June 6.
Recently, a gameplay trailer for Concord was unveiled by Sony, displaying five of its unique characters—ranging from the sniper Vale to the extraterrestrial gunslinger Lennox, the magic-wielding Haymar, the mighty Star Child, and the robotic being known as 1-Off.
