WARDOGS Key — How to Get Access

For Early Access you buy the game directly on Steam — no external key needed. Beta keys were distributed through FirstLook signups, pre-orders and Twitch drops. This page covers every access route.

Early Access (No Key Needed)

From Sep 10, 2026, buy WARDOGS on the Steam store page and the game is added to your library. Standard Edition $39.99; Supporter Edition $49.99 adds the Supporter Pack (camos, helicopter camo, supporter icon, bobbleheads).

Beta & Playtest Keys

• FirstLook signup: register at community.wardogs.com, link Steam or Discord — the main channel for future playtest invites.
• Steam Request Access: free playtest access requests on the Steam page.
• Pre-order access: pre-ordering guaranteed a spot in the final closed beta.
• Twitch drops: past waves handed out beta keys via drops on partnered channels.

Key Warnings

• No free keys are given out through Discord DMs — only trust official channels (BULKHEAD, Team17, Steam, FirstLook).
• Key reseller sites may sell deactivated beta keys — beta keys from earlier waves are not Early Access keys.
