WARDOGS Sells 1 Million Copies in One Day
The hype around WARDOGS shows no signs of slowing down. This brand-new tactical military FPS is putting up impressive numbers on Steam during its launch day, and the game has already sold more than 1 million copies in just its first day.
1 Million WARDOGS
WARDOGS is easily one of the more highly anticipated shooters of this year, and players are flooding in fast and with full force. Currently, at the time of writing, WARDOGS has already pushed past 337,157 players during its first few hours. Alongside this, the brand-new title from Bulkhead has already sold 1 million copies on day one.
This massive support likely stems from a mix of several factors. The developers have been very active and open with the community, and thus so many players feel they already have a stronger connection compared to other developers.
This is a huge honour. Thank you to all of you that put us here. https://t.co/aX0mOVafpv

The recently successful Beta Playtest is also a huge reason for the recent popularity, and the beta ended only a couple of days ago, giving everyone a free chance to play the game right before it came out.
Lastly, another possible reason is the new Launch Trailer, which pays heavy homage to the iconic Halo 3 Believe trailer and is surely pulling on a lot of nostalgia strings for many players.
Overall, the hype is real, and WARDOGS is clearly hitting a lot of marks that other realistic military FPS games are missing.
