However, it seems only a handful of the most dedicated players, 69 of them to be exact, managed to snag the top trophy. As soon as Concord's shutdown was announced, players flocked to the game to try and score as much XP as possible to earn the coveted Platinum Trophy on the PlayStation platform. With the game becoming unavailable, the value of said trophy increased tenfold in the eyes of achievement hunters, who then promptly went to Concord to kill themselves as much as possible. Offing yourself is the quickest manner to end the match, netting a ton of XP. This was basically the only way to achieve said trophy without some sort of XP boost, which players did ask for. In the end, a mere 69 players succeeded (thanks, PSN Profiles) in attaining the top trophy for Concord\u2014a number oddly fitting as one last dunk on Sony's failed shooter. For those out of the loop, if there are any, Concord was supposed to be Sony's next big entry to the live-service market, a market it is increasingly focusing on. After the success of Helldivers 2 (whose reputation has been severely impacted by Sony's PSN shenanigans and the devs' incessant nerfs), Sony likely believed they would sweep up the hero shooter genre. However, the game was a colossal failure instead, one that failed to net more than 700 players on Steam and likely not much more on the PlayStation itself, eventually leading to its untimely demise and shutdown on Friday, Sept. 6. The 69 hardcore achievement hunters are probably the last heroes Concord will ever have, but at least they sang its solemn swansong containing a single verse: Nice.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/concords-first-open-beta-went-about-as-badly-as-it-really-could-have-done.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1340133"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2309"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1340133"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1340133\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1340258,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1340133\/revisions\/1340258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1293972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1340133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1340133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1340133"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1340133"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1340133"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1340133"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1340133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
