Wardogs Explodes onto Steam, Triggers Massive Queues and a Quick Patch
Wardogs launched in Steam Early Access to a massive buzz, hitting about 300,000 peak concurrent players and becoming Steam’s top seller. Long server queues spawned memes as Bulkhead blamed Valve’s rate limits; the team briefly kicked the queue to speed access and promised controlled batches while issues persisted. A hotfix has now rolled out to fix joining, disconnections, and incorrect bans, with instructions to restart the game to download the update and rejoin in batches, though no timeline was given for full relief. The game is a 100-player, three-team FPS set in a fictional Eastern Europe; console versions are planned for 2028, and Steam keys are discounted via Fanatical.
