Hi everyone, this video goes live later today, but all Supporters can watch now. Similar to the Astro Bot hands-on, it's a more basic two-hander covering impressions of the beta. I feel this is a good format for discussing things broadly without compromising any in-depth coverage we may bring in the future. Enjoy!

The blurb: Concord's gameplay has been revealed over two weekend beta sessions - a well-made Unreal Engine 5 take on the Overwatch hero shooter concept. As a PS5 and PC release there's few platforms to cover here, but the outlook so far shows a well optimised effort on both fronts - with FSR, DLSS and TSR included on PC. It's Unreal Engine 5, but to what extent are its showcase features used? Tom and John compare notes.
