WARDOGS achieves massive Steam sales following Early Access launch

Bulkhead Studios has seen massive commercial success with the Early Access launch of its multiplayer shooter, WARDOGS. The title sold over one million copies within hours of its release on Steam, reaching a peak of over 428,000 concurrent players during its launch weekend.

Despite the sales surge, the studio is facing immediate challenges. Developers are actively combating cheaters by monitoring suspicious accounts and plan to implement mandatory anti-cheat software for accounts linked to known offenders.

Additionally, studio CEO Joe Brammer has faced scrutiny regarding workplace culture. Following comments about the studio’s approach to overtime and 'crunch,' Brammer has sought to clarify his statements on social media regarding the company’s expectations for employees.
