Wardogs Has A Massive Start On Steam, But Players Face Brutal Server Queues
A big new military FPS, Wardogs (not to be confused with the 2016 Jonah Hill/Miles Teller crime-comedy War Dogs) launched today in early access on Steam, and it's off to a hot start.
AI Summary
Wardogs, a new military first‑person shooter, launched in early access on Steam on September 10, 2026 and immediately became Steam’s top‑selling title at $40. The game hit a peak of 300,000 concurrent users, prompting developer Bulkhead to implement a server queue that quickly turned into a meme, with some players reporting queues of over 300,000 people. Bulkhead said the massive queues were partly caused by a “rate‑limited” connection with Valve and that it is working with Valve to raise the limit for larger titles. As a temporary fix, Bulkhead kicked everyone from the queue, aiming to let more players access the game faster.
