When does it come out?
Steam Early Access on 10 September 2026, PC only, $39.99, no invite needed. What the two Closed Betas were, and what is still undated.
Open →All weapons
The full Equipment vendor roster recorded during the Closed Alpha. Names, renders and stats for all 33, and what each costs.
Open →All vehicles
Every land and air vehicle the alpha vendor sold, what each costs, and which sit behind a cash unlock or a level on Driver or Pilot.
Open →Can your PC run it
The published minimum and recommended specs, plus a quick check against the parts you actually have.
Open →Interactive map
Three worlds at one pixel per metre, 167 named markers, a kilometre grid, and layers you can switch off.
Open →Server status
Whether the servers are up, what players are reporting right now, and the fixes that worked.
Open →Artillery calculator
Grid reference in, elevation and charge out. Built on the game's own firing tables, with the ranges nobody has settled marked as disputed.
Open →Tier list
Which weapons are actually worth buying, ranked on cost efficiency rather than raw damage — because here the money is the constraint.
Open →Latest
Full timeline →Patch 0.11: server browser split, maintenance on Monday
Maintenance at 08:00 UTC on 14 September delivers Patch 0.11: Community and Official browsers, join by server ID, 5% bonus cash and exploit bans.
Confirmed1.25 million copies sold, and a peak of 340,171
At 01:05 UTC Bulkhead posted the first-day sales figure. Forty minutes earlier the concurrent count had set its record, and the login queue had already gone.
ConfirmedConsoles get a year: WARDOGS is coming to PlayStation and Xbox in 2028
In the post announcing that Early Access was going live, Bulkhead added the line it had refused to give for six months: "coming to consoles in 2028."
Confirmed
What is actually confirmed
Straight from Bulkhead, Team17 and the Steam page. Every card links to where the claim came from.
$39.99 — Supporter Edition $49.99
United States pricing, verified against Steam's store API on 11 August 2026. The price is strongly regional: €39.99 in the Eurozone, £36.99 in the UK, R$119.99 in Brazil, Mex$454.99 in Mexico. Much of Latin America and Turkey sit on a separate US-dollar tier at $24.99/$29.99 — the same currency, 37% below the US price.
Steam store page ↗37 weapons, 21 vehicles, 3 maps (3 variations each)
First hard content numbers Bulkhead has ever given. Paired with a warning: "players should not expect regular content drops" during Early Access — one new map is planned, with dev effort going to the metagame and bug fixes instead.
Bulkhead, "10 Reasons why you should NOT Buy WARDOGS" devlog, 11 August 2026 ↗3–6 September 2026, 19:00 UTC Thursday to 08:00 UTC Sunday
Servers run from 19:00 UTC on Thursday 3 September to 08:00 UTC on Sunday 6 September — one continuous window, published as a schedule card on @WARDOGS on the morning of the 3rd under "Slightly updated server times for the Closed Beta". It supersedes the 1 September announcement, which gave only a day and "right after The FPS Games Show"; the show itself runs at 18:00 UTC, an hour before the servers now open. Both times were published as an image rather than as text. That leaves four days between the beta closing and Early Access on 10 September.
@WARDOGS, Closed Beta 02 schedule card, X, 3 September 2026 ↗$10,000, once
Team17: "Every player starts their WARDOG journey with $10,000." This seeds your account, it is not an allowance that refills each life.
Team17 official game page ↗Why every fact here carries a label
WARDOGS has not shipped. A lot of what circulates about it is a press paraphrase of a paraphrase, and some of it is simply wrong. Rather than flatten all of that into confident prose, every claim on this site is tagged with how well it is sourced.
- Confirmed
- Stated by Bulkhead, Team17, or the official Steam page.
- Reported
- Published by credible games press, not yet on an official page.
- Unconfirmed
- Community claim or not yet announced. Treat as speculation.
