Wardogs avrebbe venduto 3,2 milioni di copie e incassato quasi 100 milioni di dollari
Mesi fa, nessuno si sarebbe aspettato che a spiccare tra le numerose grandi uscite di settembre sarebbe stato Wardogs, sparatutto multigiocatore online di Bulkhead e Team17. Eppure, nel mese di Marvel's Wolverine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Control Resonant, FC 27 e The Blood of Dawnwalker, a registrare il più grande successo pare essere stata proprio questa nuova IP, che secondo le stime di Alinea Analytics avrebbe piazzato 3,2 milioni di copie e generato incassi netti per circa 86,9 milioni di dollari - quasi 100 milioni se si considerano anche gli ottimi preordini.
Nonostante le cifre non abbiano superato i picchi commerciali di concorrenti del calibro di ARC Raiders o Helldivers 2 nello stesso intervallo temporale, l'accoglienza riservata al gioco ha superato ampiamente le aspettative del team britannico. Anche il supporto al titolo prosegue a ritmo sostenuto: il prossimo 15 ottobre prenderà il via la Stagione 2, un aggiornamento contenutistico che introdurrà condizioni meteo avverse come la pioggia battente per ridurre la visibilità nelle mappe, affiancata da una serie di modifiche al bilanciamento delle armi e dei veicoli, e successivamente verranno svelate le altre novità in vista.
Attualmente disponibile in accesso anticipato solo su PC (Steam), Wardogs ha venduto più di 3 milioni di copie e finanziato il suo supporto almeno fino al lancio delle versioni per PS5 e Xbox Series X/S, in programma per il generico 2028. Per maggiori dettagli vi rimandiamo alla nostra anteprima.
September's top premium Steam games by revenue (@alineaanalytics estimates). - Wardogs generated $86.9M last month after releasing in early access on Sep 10. The hit PvP shooter has now generated over $100M on Steam via 3.2M copies sold, thanks to its impressive pre-launch, pre-September revenues. Wardogs alone is about a third of September’s new-2026-IP revenue on Steam. - Onimusha: Way of the Sword made $30.4M on Steam in September (and $33.7M on Steam overall) since its Sep 4 launch. The Steam version has now sold almost 576K copies, continuing Capcom’s incredible 2026 run on Valve’s platform (and generational run overall). Onimusha‘s #1 country by Steam players is China, accounting for over a third. So Steam offers Capcom a means to reach a lucrative audience that console can’t. 30% of Steam players who played the demo went on to buy the full game. - The Blood of Dawnwalker, which launched a day before Onimusha, made $26.9M last month on Steam. Thanks to pre-launch sales, Dawnwalker has now generated $30.6M on Steam. While Steam is Dawnwalker‘s top platform by copies sold (over 535K), it’s actually #2 by revenue, as the PS5 version has generated over $40M now. This is down to regional pricing and there being more console players in higher-priced markets. - Bodycam, a realistic PvP shooter that simulates footage from body-worn police and military cameras, managed an extra $24.2M last month. The title launched in early access in 2024, but just had a huge “Locked & Loaded” 0.8 update, bringing Bodycam more in line with the developers’ original vision. Sep 2026 was Bodycam‘s best month yet, beating even the $16M it generated in its early-access launch month. - FC 27 generated $20.7M via copies sold on Steam last month. That’s actually a little lower than FC 26 was at the same point (launch-aligned), which makes sense given the intense competition on Steam right now. But it’s already generated over $500M via console copies alone, with $410M on PlayStation and $85M via Xbox. Despite having only just released, FC 27 has sold more copies across platforms than this year’s NBA and Madden games combined. - How to Fish continues to reel in friendslop success, with $19.3M generated last month. In total, the $7.99 viral game has now made over $50M via its now 10.1M copies sold overall. There’s also a cohort of players who play multiple friendslop games in a given month: of September’s How to Fish players, about 9% also played Peak in September, while 8% pl
