Published performance note1080p Low at 60 fps, upscaled1440p Medium at 70 fps+ native, or 4K Medium at 60 fps+ upscaled

The upscaling distinction matters: the minimum note is not a promise of native 1080p at 60 fps. The recommended listing offers two different resolution/rendering conditions. Actual results depend on your hardware, settings, drivers, build and match conditions. We have not tested these combinations ourselves.

The store also identifies Easy Anti-Cheat as kernel-level anti-cheat. Do not treat a Windows configuration table as confirmation of Linux, macOS or Steam Deck support. For the current scope of official platform information, see platforms.

WARDOGS versus WARDOGS Playtest

Official test announcements name a separate WARDOGS Playtest application. Keep that label separate from the main paid store product when reading access instructions or checking your library. An old test entitlement is not evidence of a live server or ownership of the main game. Official test announcement.

  1. Open the store link above and verify the title, developer and app ID.
  2. Read the current purchase or access notice before installing anything.
  3. Use your Steam library's instructions for the entitled product. Do not assume the old Playtest installation is the release build.
  4. Check the dated playtest guide if the entry you see is WARDOGS Playtest.

For edition and pricing context, read release date and price. For announcements or technical feedback, use the official community routes.
