What is WARDOGS?

This guide covers the BULKHEAD game published by Team17, listed on Steam as app 1867240. The search phrase War Dogs can also refer to a film; this site covers the game.

Control-zone presence earns points, and the first team to reach 100 wins. Players buy equipment for each life; teamwork earns cash that carries between matches.

As of September 7, 2026, Steam lists Early Access for September 10, 2026. The September beta ended on September 6 at 08:00 UTC. A past beta invitation is not confirmation that a test is open now.

Use this independent guide to check release and test dates, platform announcements and PC requirements before following the official store link.

Access Questions

Does signing up for a WARDOGS playtest guarantee access?

No. The official sign-up page describes limited invitations for future playtests. Check the dated terms for each test rather than treating registration as an invitation.

Is a WARDOGS PS5 release date confirmed?

No PS5 release date was confirmed in the official sources reviewed on September 7, 2026. That does not establish that a console version will never be released.
