WARDOGS Hits Steam Early Access Today, Xbox and PlayStation in 2028

WARDOGS, a 100-player tactical FPS, launches into Steam Early Access today. The developer also announced plans to bring the game to Xbox and PlayStation in 2028.

Ever miss the days when tactical shooters felt like tactical shooters? WARDOGS might be your answer. The ambitious 100-player tactical FPS launches into Steam Early Access today at 5pm BST / 4pm UTC, and if you've been seeing it all over YouTube lately, you're not alone.

Creators have been hyping WARDOGS during its closed beta tests, and now you can finally get your hands on it. The game promises a throwback experience that lets you "play like you used to" – a refreshing change if you're tired of modern shooters that feel more like sprinting simulators.

But here's the kicker: WARDOGS isn't staying PC-only forever. The developer has announced plans to bring the tactical 100-player action to Xbox and PlayStation sometime in 2028. That's a while to wait if you're a console player, but at least it's on the roadmap.

For now, PC players can dive into Early Access and see what all the fuss is about. If you've been on the fence, you can wishlist the game now to keep tabs on it. And if you're a console gamer, you might want to do the same – 2028 will be here before you know it.

So why is WARDOGS getting so much attention? A 100-player tactical FPS is no small feat, and the closed beta buzz suggests it's scratching an itch many shooter fans have had for years. The phrase "play like you used to" hits hard for anyone who grew up on classic tactical shooters.

Of course, Early Access means the game is still evolving. But that's also part of the appeal – you get to be there from the start, watching it grow and shape up ahead of its console debut. If you're into large-scale tactical battles, this could be your next obsession.
