Overwatch Progressive Warframe shooting Destiny Players seem to like Concord, but its $40 price tag has led to a tepid first weekend on PC

The PlayStation Network doesn't have public player numbers, so it's hard to say what the complete picture is, but things don't look great for Concord on PC. The $40 hero shooter is sitting at mostly positive reviews on Steam, but according to SteamDB, has so far hit a high water mark of just 697 PC players on its opening weekend.
