Promising new multiplayer FPS Wardogs has launched in Steam Early Access, but console players will have a long wait ahead, with developer Bulkhead confirming the game won’t arrive on consoles before 2028.

Wardogs has already attracted significant attention on PC, drawing nearly 250,000 players during testing before its Early Access debut.

Wardogs Will Spend at Least a Year in Early Access

Developer Bulkhead plans to keep Wardogs in Steam Early Access for at least a year, using feedback from the community to improve and expand the game before moving toward other platforms.

Studio head Joe Brammer acknowledged that Wardogs is still in a rough state and that plenty of development work remains.

“Wardogs is an ambitious title and in a rough state, we still have a lot of work to do, but that’s exactly why Early Access exists.”

Bulkhead wants to use the Early Access period to build Wardogs into a multiplayer shooter capable of maintaining a long-term community rather than rushing its development.

That approach also means console versions aren’t planned before 2028, although specific platforms and an exact console release date haven’t been confirmed.

Wardogs Is Already Huge on Steam

The initial response on Steam has been impressive. Shortly after its Early Access launch, Wardogs reportedly reached around 225,000 concurrent players.

At that moment, its concurrent player count was reportedly higher than Battlefield 6, Call of Duty and Delta Force combined, giving Bulkhead an extremely strong starting point for its Early Access journey.

For now, however, Wardogs remains a PC experience. Console players interested in Bulkhead’s new multiplayer FPS shouldn’t expect to join the fight until 2028 at the earliest.
