WARDOGS has sold 3 million copies just over two weeks after entering Early Access, giving BULKHEAD another major sales milestone for its tactical shooter. The game was also nominated for Best Early Access Game 2026 at the Golden Joystick Awards.

BULKHEAD shared both developments in its latest Steam announcement, thanking players for supporting WARDOGS and the team behind it. The new figure follows the game’s rapid launch, which saw it reach 2 million copies sold within five days.

Golden Joystick Awards voting is decided by the community, and BULKHEAD is asking WARDOGS players to support the nomination through the Golden Joystick Awards voting site. The nomination gives the Early Access shooter another way to measure its reception beyond its sales and player counts.
