Barely 24 hours have passed since WARDOGS officially launched into early access. Somewhere along the way, with the servers struggling to push players through onto the battlefield, they have broken not just their sales records, but their peak player count as well!

WARDOGS Day 2

With WARDOGS Day 2 early access underway, the developers have broken two records yet again. Firstly, WARDOGS has now sold 1.25 million copies. Plus, as of the time of writing, the peak player count record on Steam has been shattered once again.

Since the developers have worked through a lot of the server issues since yesterday, the peak player count has shot up to 365,111. With the start of the weekend, who knows how high this number will go.

But don’t forget: as you pile onto the battlefield this weekend, remember the $100K Clip Contest is still going on. So grab your background recording software and capture your highlights for a chance to win either a lot of in-game cash or the grand $100K IRL prize.
