Is Concord cross-platform?

By

PlayStation

The newest game in the live-service hero shooter space is PlayStation’s own Concord. Set in a somewhat ’70s-inspired sci-fi setting, you will fight in teams of mercenaries known as Freegunners in various game modes. Each Freegunner has their own weapon, ability, and roles to stand out from the pack. One aspect that makes Concord unique is that it is attempting to weave an ongoing narrative into the game despite being multiplayer only. Since these games live and die based on how many people are playing it, one would hope PlayStation decided to make Concord cross-platform. Here’s how it’s handled this time around.

Is Concord cross-platform

Yes, Concord has cross-platform support on both PS5 and PC, which are the only two platforms it is available on. This means, much like Helldivers 2, PC and PS5 players can both team up and battle against one another in the same games and not be relegated to different servers. However, for PC players this does mean Concord requires a PSN account, which has been a point of consternation in the past.

Concord also allows for cross-progression. While you would need to purchase the game twice, if you ever did decide to switch from PS5 to PC, or vice versa, all your unlocks, levels, and cosmetics would stay with you on your account once you picked the game up on the other platform.

All Resident Evil games in order, by release date and chronologically

There are almost no survival horror games that last for more than few entries, let alone ones that have persisted for decades like Resident Evil. This series had humble beginnings as a small horror experience set in a single mansion to explore, solve puzzles, and fight against the clunky tank controls and fixed camera angles. Since then, the series has evolved and grown into one of the most recognizable Capcom IPs there is, with new entries and amazing remakes coming out almost every year.

Currently, the highest-numbered Resident Evil game is 8, aka Village, but you would be wildly off if you thought there were only eight entries to consider when looking to complete the series. Right from the start, Resident Evil has loved expanding its world with a massive cast of characters and new protagonists from game to game. Resident Evil 7 was a soft reboot for the series, but there is still a cannon order to the events surrounding Umbrella, the various zombie viruses, and all our favorite heroes like Chris and Leon.

Kunitsu-Gami devs break down the secret to Capcom’s new success
Soh, Yoshiro, and Villagers prepare for battle in Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

The video game industry is in a period of contraction. Companies like Bungie are canceling games and laying off developers so they can home in and focus on one or two big titles. Why invest in smaller, riskier projects when making larger games in well-known franchises will yield greater returns? Capcom, on the other hand, is committed to doing both.

"I believe that the experience with a series or remake is important, but the experience of a new IP is also important," Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Director Shuichi Kawata told me in an email interview following the release of one of Capcom's more experimental new games yet.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is more like Dead Space’s remake than Resident Evil 4’s
Frank talks to Jessica in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

Don't let Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster's name fool you; this is essentially a full-on remake of Capcom's classic zombie game. While the narrative and core gameplay loop are the same, Dead Rising has seen a complete visual overhaul, as well as a few gameplay tweaks to make it more enjoyable to play. It's the same great game you remember, but it now just feels like something that could be released in 2024 rather than 2006. After going hands-on with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, it's clear that this game is less like the remake treatment Capcom gave Resident Evil 4 last year and more like the one EA gave Dead Space. It's an extremely faithful modern upgrade for a horror classic that still holds up today.
