Wardogs Surpasses 1 Million Copies Sold on Day One, Blows Past 300k Peak Concurrent Players on Steam

Bulkhead Games' new first-person shooter, Wardogs, has already achieved remarkable success since its early access launch. According to the developer, the game has sold over one million copies on day one, setting a record for rapid sales. SteamDB also reports that Wardogs has attracted more than 300,000 concurrent players, making it a standout title in the crowded multiplayer shooter market.

Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer expressed his amazement at crossing the million-copy milestone, stating that the team's efforts to provide a unique blend of mil-sim realism and casual gameplay have paid off. Despite the impressive numbers, Brammer emphasized that the early access phase is still underway, and various improvements and additional content are still being developed.

Wardogs currently exists on PC, but the developer plans to expand to consoles, aiming for a 2028 release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox. While the hype surrounding Wardogs may eventually wane, the developer remains optimistic about maintaining player interest as new content is added to the game. This strong debut for a new multiplayer shooter is a welcome addition to the gaming landscape, offering an alternative to the ubiquitous Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises.
