Wardogs has already surpassed Marathon in terms of total revenue generated, according to new data from Alinea Analytics. The game has sold over 2.2 million copies on Steam, making it one of the year's biggest PC hits. Its launch momentum on Steam is ahead of other mega-hits like Arc Raiders and Helldivers 2, both of which have sold 1.7 million and 1 million copies respectively during their respective launch periods.
Despite being a single-platform title, Wardogs has already generated $70 million in revenue, placing it at number seven on Steam's 2026 list of new games ranked by revenue. Plans for PlayStation and Xbox ports of Wardogs are in the works, though they won't be released until 2028. The game's success can be attributed to its modern pricing strategy, sitting below the $70 price point of triple-A releases while attracting players who are priced out of premium titles.
Wardogs has also converted 11% of its Steam Wishlists into sales, with 57% of all Steam Wishlists made in the last month, indicating a late, hot hype cycle. However, the studio behind Wardogs, Bulkhead, has faced controversy recently regarding its work culture and hiring practices, with CEO Joe Brammer addressing the issue on a recent podcast and later clarifying his comments in a statement to Eurogamer.
