Why Sony killed the PS5 game ‘Concord’—and the entire studio that made it

Sony says it is shutting down ‘Concord,’ the PS5 video game that was out just two weeks, for good.

Sony Interactive Studios is swinging the axe with a ferocity even God of War’s Kratos would have trouble matching. The video game company announced plans Tuesday to shut down two internal studios and to “permanently sunset” Concord, the online multiplayer shooter it took offline after less than two weeks in September.
