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.
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: the Early Access base game
- Supporter Edition: base game and the listed cosmetic pack; check the current Steam package contents before purchasing
Refund language needs care
BULKHEAD said beta players could refund if the test was 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.
