On August 18, the US Steam store lists WARDOGS at $39.99 and the Supporter Edition at $49.99. Regional prices vary. Preordering grants Closed Beta access.
Standard or Supporter Edition
The base game is the practical choice if you only want to play. The Supporter Edition adds cosmetic items and a scoreboard supporter icon; it does not sell gameplay power.
- Standard edition: base game and preorder beta access
- Supporter Edition: base game, beta access and the listed cosmetic pack
Refund language needs care
BULKHEAD encourages players to refund if the beta is not for them. That statement does not replace Steam's current refund process or guarantee that every individual request will qualify. Check Steam's terms at the time you act.
What remains unknown
- Regional price and taxes differ by account country.
- The final 1.0 price is not confirmed; Steam says Early Access pricing may rise later.
