Concord is slated to launch globally on Aug. 23, though some players will have the ability to play the game a little bit early if they fork up the extra cash. Owners of the Concord Digital Deluxe Edition will be allowed to participate in the “Early Access Launch” starting on Aug. 20, three full days earlier than everyone else. Sony has also shared the precise Early Access start times for each region, which you can see in the image attached above.

Concord Digital Deluxe Edition costs $59.99—$20 more expensive than the standard version. Those who purchased this version of the game also received Early Access to the game’s open beta environment, giving them a chance to take the game for a spin before the full release. There weren’t too many players participating in the event, however, casting shade on the game’s potential future, though all will be crystal clear once the game drops on the PlayStation 5 and PC on Aug. 20 or 23, depending on which edition of the game you own.
