Concord’s early access beta kicked off yesterday, and while the new hero shooter initially received a fair bit of hate from thePlayStationcommunity, fans are experiencing a change of heart after actually getting to play the game.
When PlayStation first revealed Concord during a State of Play event in May, fansbarraged the trailer with dislikesand negative comments, making it clear that they wanted more games like the recently announced Astro Bot and not another hero shooter. Some fans were even claiming that it was"ripping off" characters from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxygame.

But with the early access beta now live, fans are praising the interesting characters and slick gunplay. Over on Reddit, the Concord subreddit is filled with posts about how good the gunplay and combat feel, withsome even sayingthat it feels “better than Overwatch.”
“It definitely feels more grounded and tactile than that weird floaty feeling of Overwatch,” a user on Reddit said. “Ttk is sloooooooooow but I’d rather have that than instakill. It definitely let’s you make counter-plays. Not a revelation, but pretty damn solid.”
It’s not just Reddit that loves Concord either. Over on X (formerly Twitter), there are plenty of posts of users praising the new shooter.
“We’re excited that PlayStation Plus is also inviting all members to participate in the Beta Early Access weekend,” PlayStation announced in a newblog post. “Just look for the option to download and play the beta when you boot up your PS5.”
The early access beta is now live from July 12 to July 14 on both PC and PlayStation 5. There will then be an open beta for players across both platforms from July 18 until July 21.
