Update: Pre-orders for Concord are now live worldwide, confirming the game will cost £34.99 in the UK and $39.99 in the USA. Do you think this is a fair price? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Original article: Pre-orders for Sony's new shooter Concord officially go live tomorrow worldwide, but the Australian PS Store is already listing prices for a base version and a Digital Deluxe Edition. As a result, we now know how much the game will cost on PS5. The Australian territory will pay $60 for the title, and using Helldivers 2 as an example of how that translates into US dollars, the price should be set at $40 in the USA.

There's also the Digital Deluxe Edition, which should be $60 in the USA. It bundles the base game in with three days of early access, 16 character skins, and a Monarch Pack. You can view the two PS Store pre-order listings through here, and they're also screenshotted below:

Luckily, there's an open beta arriving in July, so you will have the chance to try it out for yourself before release. Costing the same as Helldivers 2, the price point seems about right.

But this game still looks pretty bad.

Do you have to buy the game in order to partake in the beta, @LiamCroft? Or is the beta free...?

@Fiendish-Beaver I believe you gain early access to the beta if you pre-order, but there will be a time when it's open for everyone to download.

Was kind of wondering if
