WARDOGS Clears $100 Million on Steam in Under a Month, Still Behind ARC Raiders and Helldivers 2

Alinea Analytics says BULKHEAD's WARDOGS made $86.9 million on Steam between its September 10 early access launch and the end of the month, passing $100 million gross with pre-orders and 3.2 million copies sold. It still trails ARC Raiders ($125 million) and Helldivers 2 ($130 million) over a similar window. Analyst Rhys Elliott says the shooter still pulls about 250,000 players a day. GamesRadar reported the figures on October 2.

  2. Does losing to ARC Raiders and Helldivers 2 even matter for an early access game?
  3. Will WARDOGS still pull 250,000 players a day when MW4 lands on October 23?
  4. Where should BULKHEAD spend the money first: anti-cheat, maps, or servers?
