WARDOGS launched on Steam in Early Access on September 10, 2026. PC players can buy the game now. BULKHEAD has announced consoles for 2028; an exact version 1.0 release date remains unconfirmed.
Open briefing →WARDOGS is a paid Early Access game, released September 10. The US prices checked on September 13 are $39.99 for the base game and $49.99 for the Supporter Edition. Check Steam for your regional total; the earlier beta-access promotion has ended.
Open briefing →WARDOGS requires Windows 10 or 11, 16 GB RAM and 50 GB of available storage. The official minimum GPU is a GTX 1660 or RX 590; recommended is RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT.
Open briefing →A universal Secure Boot or TPM requirement is not specified in the Steam requirements checked on September 13. Steam now names Elytra as its kernel-level anti-cheat, replacing this guide's older EAC information. The September 4 developer statement says Linux is not officially supported and cannot promise Proton compatibility for launch.
Open briefing →Start by learning the Control Zone, protect your $10,000 opening balance and choose one useful squad job. WARDOGS rewards revives, transport and objective play—not only eliminations.
Open briefing →Launch-week reporting and a player report describe this route: enter the tutorial, press Esc, wait for Leave Match to become available, select it and confirm Yes. Back at the title screen, continue and check whether Deploy is unlocked. This is a reported current-build method, not an official guarantee for every account.
