WARDOGS Release Date & Price

WARDOGS launches 10 September 2026 on PC via Steam, entering Early Access at $39.99 from BULKHASH and Team17. Here is everything confirmed about the launch, pre-order perks and what Early Access means.
Release date and platforms
WARDOGS releases on 10 September 2026 for PC on Steam. It launches as an Early Access title (Action / Massively Multiplayer / Simulation), meaning the sandbox grows across development with community feedback.
Console versions have not been announced; the many PS5 and Xbox searches reflect player demand rather than confirmed ports.
Price and editions
The standard edition is $39.99. A Supporter Edition also appears on Steam for players who want to back development further.
The studio's marketing is unusually honest - their official '10 Reasons NOT to Buy WARDOGS' dev vlog encourages informed purchases, and the game ships as online-multiplayer-only with no singleplayer.
What Early Access means here
Expect the core 100-player three-team Control Zone mode at launch, with content and balance evolving through updates. Beta weekends doubled as genuine scale tests, so expect post-launch tuning passes.
Your cash economy persists between matches but not necessarily between major updates - read patch notes before big spending sessions.
