Wardogs rockets into Early Access with 1M copies sold and 350k+ concurrent players

Bulkhead’s tactical shooter Wardogs launched into Steam Early Access and instantly surpassed 1 million copies sold while drawing more than 350,000 concurrent players within hours, causing server queues. The PC game is currently Steam-only at £36.99, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions planned for 2028. Matches support up to 100 players in three-way control-point battles featuring vehicle combat, base-building, and destructible terrain; the studio plans a slower content cadence rather than sustaining an explosive launch-day spike.

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.

Wardogs set September early access with beta-refund promise

Wardogs, a 100-player shooter from Bulkhead, will enter Steam early access on Sept 10 with a closed-beta weekend (Aug 21–23). Pre-orders guarantee beta access, and players can request a refund if they’re unhappy with the beta. Early access is priced at $40 (rising to $60 at full release) with no in-game monetization planned during EA; cosmetics will come post-release. The EA phase focuses on performance, balance, and bug fixes over roughly 24 months across several maps, vehicles, and weapons.
