Wardogs Confirms Console Release Window Following Massive Steam Launch
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Bulkhead has announced a 2028 console release window for Wardogs on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X following a massive debut on Steam.
Following a dominant run on the Steam charts and some massive beta tests, developer Bulkhead has officially confirmed that Wardogs is heading to consoles. According to an announcement reported by Polygon, the first-person shooter will land on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2028. While that is a lengthy wait for console players, the timeline hints at the long-term roadmap the studio has planned for the game.
To mark the Steam Early Access launch, Bulkhead dropped a new trailer that nods directly to the classic Halo 3 Believe commercial. The studio is leaning hard into nostalgia with a tagline about playing like you used to, aiming to recapture an era when multiplayer lobbies felt unpredictable, social, and genuinely unputdownable. That message is clearly resonating, given that the game's recent beta pulled in a peak of over 245,000 concurrent players on SteamDB.
Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer has been refreshingly transparent about the state of the project, noting that the game is ambitious, rough around the edges, and still has a long way to go in development. For a modern gaming audience used to polished live service rollouts, there is something refreshing about watching a shooter find its footing in real-time alongside its community. By the time 2028 rolls around, console players might even be looking at early versions of the next generation of hardware, making this a long-haul journey worth keeping an eye on.
Wishlists are already live on both PlayStation and Xbox for anyone wanting to track the game's progress. As Bulkhead continues to iterate based on direct player feedback from its PC early access run, the real test will be whether the team can maintain this community momentum all the way to its eventual console debut.
