What Time Does WARDOGS Release? Exact Start Time & Preload Details
The highly anticipated launch of WARDOGS is now on the horizon, with hundreds of thousands of players waiting to take to the battlefield.
September is stacked with a slew of hefty releases, and WARDOGS is arriving as one of the most eagerly anticipated, following a thoroughly successful closed beta.
A closed playtest earlier this month attracted close to a quarter of a million players at its peak and the number is expected to be significantly higher in the early access launch.
If you’re counting down the hours, minutes and seconds until the WARDOGS release, we’ve got the exact time to set your timer to.
What Time Does WARDOGS Release?
WARDOGS is set for release at 9 AM PT on Thursday, September 10, opening the doors for early access.
The launch into early access comes fresh off the back of a final Closed Beta, which ran from September 3 to September 8, and opens the door to the masses.
Having hit an all-time Twitch peak of over 200,000 viewers earlier this month, and ranking number one in the Steam top sellers chart, WARDOGS is expected to be one of the biggest titles landing on PC this month.
The table below shows the exact launch time and date in various regions worldwide.

| British Summer Time (BST) | 5:00 PM – Sept. 10 |
| Central European Summer Time (CEST) | 6:00 PM – Sept. 10 |
| Japan Standard Time (JST) | 1:00 AM – Sept. 11 |

Can You Preload WARDOGS?
Yes, you can preload WARDOGS ahead of launch, with the Steam download for the early access release clocking in at just shy of 42 GB.
That’s a big relief for the hundreds of thousands of players preparing for launch, as it was previously unavailable to preload, and there was uncertainty of whether it would be available at all.
Therefore, if you’re planning to jump into WARDOGS as soon as it’s live, it’s highly recommended you preload the title before launch, particularly giving the hefty download size.
This also applies to anyone who participated in the Closed Beta, as the early access launch is treated as an entirely separate game on Steam, so you can delete the previous version to clear some space beforehand.
