Short answer: WARDOGS is PC-only right now, and it's staying that way for a while. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are officially coming in 2028 — BULKHEAD announced the platforms at the PC launch in September 2026, and wishlists are already open on both stores. If you're on console, this page tracks everything confirmed so you don't have to re-read rumor threads.

Can't Wait? Play It on PC With a Controller Today

WARDOGS has real controller support on PC, and Season 2 (October 15) overhauled it: a proper aim assist strength slider (Settings → Controller → Advanced — default 1, 0 disables), retuned sensitivities and aim acceleration, revised button bindings, and fixes for gamepad bugs from cooking grenades to gunner-seat aiming. Aim assist even works on the firing-range dummies now. If you're a console player testing the waters on a gaming laptop or PC, start with our best settings guide — sensitivity, FOV and the Potato Mode reality check are all there.
