Wardogs Beats Arc Raiders and Helldivers 2 on Steam, Outearns Marathon

Did you see this one coming? A new analysis reveals that Wardogs, the breakout hit, is absolutely crushing it on Steam — and it's outpacing some serious competition.

According to the data, Wardogs has sold more copies at launch on Steam than both Arc Raiders and Helldivers 2. That's a huge statement for a game that many might not have had on their radar. But the numbers don't lie: it's resonating with players in a big way.

But wait, there's more. The same analysis shows that Wardogs has already made more money than Marathon across all platforms to date. Let that sink in. Marathon, a title with plenty of history and hype, has been outearned by this newcomer — and we're not even talking about a full multiplatform rollout here.

So what's driving this? While the source doesn't dive into specifics, it's clear that Wardogs has struck a chord. Maybe it's the gameplay, maybe it's the timing, or maybe it's just word of mouth doing its thing. Either way, it's a remarkable start for the game.

For context, Arc Raiders and Helldivers 2 are no slouches. Helldivers 2 was a massive success earlier this year, and Arc Raiders has been generating buzz. For Wardogs to outperform them at launch on Steam is no small feat.

And outpacing Marathon's total revenue across all platforms? That's the kind of stat that makes you sit up and take notice. It suggests that Wardogs isn't just a flash in the pan — it's a genuine money-maker.

Of course, we'll have to see how things shake out over time. Launch success is great, but longevity is what really matters. Still, this is one hell of a start.
