WARDOGS has sold 3 million copies, Bulkhead said on 26 September, two and a half weeks after Early Access opened. The same Steam post, mirrored on X, carries a second piece of news: the game is nominated for Best Early Access Game 2026 at the Golden Joystick Awards, and voting is open now at goldenjoysticks.com.
How fast the number climbed
| Date | Copies sold | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 10 September, launch day | 1.25 million | Bulkhead, Steam |
| 15 September | 2 million | Bulkhead, Steam |
| 26 September | 3 million | Bulkhead, Steam and X |
Launch day to 2 million took five days. The next million took eleven. That is the curve you would expect once the launch rush settles, and it is still a million copies in under a fortnight.
Season 2 details next week
The post ends on the other thing players are waiting for: "We're knuckled down and working on Season 02 and beyond. More information dropping next week." Season 2 is dated for 15 October, so next week's post is likely to be the first look at what it changes, the wipe included. What we know about Season 2 so far →
