Whereas Steam continues to be discounting pre-orders proper as much as the Might 23 launch, that is nonetheless the most cost effective means so as to add the Warhammer-flavored boomer-shooter to your library when you’re keen to undergo an additional step. This deal is unique to the Steam model of the sport, nevertheless it’s price noting that Boltgun may also be out there on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Swap.
