Wardogs PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are indeed on the way, but they won't be releasing for over a year, so it'll be a long wait. For now, early access takes priority and that means Steam is the only mainstream platform you can currently play it on, so you're out of luck if you don't have a PC that can run it. But it's nice to know that the developers at Bulkhead already have a plan for a console release for their hit all-out warfare FPS, even if it is a way off. With that, here's what's going on with Wardogs on consoles and early access plans.
Is Wardogs on consoles?
No, Wardogs is currently only available on PC via Steam, having just released into early access, but there are plans to bring the game to consoles. The problem is a PS5 and Xbox Series X release isn't due until 2028, so it's a long way off.
Given Wardogs' proven popularity – it sold over two million copies in less than a week of early access – perhaps there's a chance developer Bulkhead will shift resources to get console versions out sooner, but that seems highly unlikely. Especially given that it sounds like much of the game's early access development has been planned.
According to the early access notice on the Wardogs Steam page, this period is expected to last one to two years and is dedicated to gathering feedback and "iterating alongside the community", with players helping to shape the game's systems and balancing during development. There are also plans for expansion during early access, with new weapons, maps, and vehicles on the cards, as well as adding more depth to progression systems, rewards, and the seasonal cash meta game - hopefully fewer Wardogs error codes will affect players when the console release comes around!
Bear in mind that Bulkhead have also stated that the full version of the game will be more expensive than the current PC early access build. That currently costs $39.99 /£36.99, so expect the console versions to be more than this.
However, if you are playing Wardogs at the moment, make sure you know how to get the most out of vehicles, whether that's by earning Wardogs Driver XP or mastering the Wardogs helicopter controls.
