Rumour
Looks like Sony's live-service sci-fi shooter Concord will launch with a £35 price tag
- Much like Helldivers 2
- Australian PlayStation Store currently lists Concord's Standard Edition with a pre-order price of $59.95 AUD and its Digital Deluxe Edition at $94.95.
- That matches Helldivers 2's Australian price tag, strongly suggesting Concord will retail for £34.99/$39.99 (£49.99/$59.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition) in the US and UK
