Concord is a 5v5 hero shooter for PS5 and PC (Image: SONY) Sony's answer to Overwatch, Concord is a 5v5 hero shooter coming to PS5 and PC. While the upcoming game will launch in full this August, Sony is testing the waters by holding a couple of multiplayer betas on PlayStation and Steam. The first beta was available for pre-order customers last weekend, and appeared to be a big success.
If, however, you were unable to take part, the good news is that Sony is holding a second Concord beta this weekend, and you don't need to pre-order the game in order to take part. The Concord open beta has a July 18 release date and a 6pm BST UK start time. It will end at the same time on July 21.
If you took part in last weekend's beta then you can carry on where you left off. If you're new to Concord, however, then pre-loading is available now. This means you can jump into the action the moment the servers go live.
