Bulkhead Confirms Console Ports for Steam Hit Wardogs, but Players Will Be Waiting Until 2028
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Bulkhead's breakout shooter Wardogs is officially heading to PS5 and Xbox, but console players will have to wait until 2028 for the full release following its early access debut on Steam.
Wardogs has taken Steam by storm with over one million copies sold on day one and a massive peak concurrent player count. Developer Bulkhead has confirmed that the large-scale warfare shooter is officially heading to PlayStation 5 and Xbox platforms. Console players will need to exercise patience, because the full multiplatform launch is not slated to arrive until 2028.
The game is currently available on Steam in early access with a starting price of $39.99, which will increase as development progresses. Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer explained that the pricing strategy rewards early supporters while avoiding a full price tag for an unfinished product. The extended timeline makes sense given the traditional console certification hurdles, particularly for early access titles on PlayStation networks, alongside the sheer scope of the project.
As the FPS space watches to see if Wardogs can maintain its early momentum, the community response from playtests has been overwhelmingly positive. The game has quickly become a major talking point across streaming platforms and creator circles. Whether the eventual console release will also target upcoming next-gen hardware remains an open question, but the foundations are clearly in place for a lasting multiplayer contender.
