WARDOGS, with the receipts
A 100-player, three-team shooter went into Early Access with a balance pass that landed the night before. Most of what is written about WARDOGS was written before that patch, and before anyone could launch the game. This site says where every claim came from and when, so you can tell which parts are still true.
Looking for the 2016 Jonah Hill film? That is a different thing entirely — this site is only about the shooter from BULKHEAD and Team17.

Steam’s own app_release_date for appid 1867240 is unix 1789056000, which is this instant. Everything below is derived from it.
Converted to six regions below.

| London | Thu 10 Sept, 17:00 |

Where you can play it, and where the studio only said “eventually”
Four of these seven rows get answered wrongly across the fan sites, in both directions: some declare console versions cancelled, others promise them. Neither is what was said. Here is the record.
| Platform | Status | What BULKHEAD or Team17 actually said | Said on |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC (Windows) | Playable now | “Windows 10 / Windows 11” | 9 February 2026 |
| PlayStation 5 | Planned, no date | “We will definitely be coming to Xbox and PlayStation. That is the plan. We just do not know when.” | 3 March 2026 |
| Xbox Series X|S | Planned, no date | “We will definitely be coming to Xbox and PlayStation. That is the plan. We just do not know when.” | 3 March 2026 |
| Linux / Proton | Ruled out for now | “If you bought the game thinking you could play it through Proton, please refund.” | 9 September 2026 |
| Steam Deck | Not addressed | Nothing on the record either way. | — |
| macOS | Not addressed | Nothing on the record either way. | — |
| Crossplay & cross-progression | Not addressed | Nothing on the record either way. | — |
The two that surprise people most are Linux and Proton, where the studio told buyers to refund, and crossplay, which has never been described at all. Full reasoning on the platform board.
The numbers that changed the night before launch
The Season 1 changelog went out hours before the build unlocked, and it moved the parts people plan around: the level curve was flattened, two of the biggest unlocks were pushed up their tracks, and fourteen vendor prices were rewritten. Any guide written earlier is describing a different game.
Career 90
Where it sits now. Heavy Tank moved to Driver 35.
