The count kept rising while the studio worked on a commemorative video and reached 3,111,000 at the time of the announcement. The game has been in early access since June 8, 2024, and sells for 3,900 yen including tax.\n\nThe largest free update so far, Locked and Loaded, is scheduled for September 2, with a launch trailer planned for the same day. The update adds dozens of reload animations that play based on stress level, a gunshot system that recognizes the air volume of a space in real time, and a new map called Trench. It also introduces host migration, the most requested feature: when the host disconnects, a new host is selected automatically based on connection quality and the match state is restored. Previously a host disconnect ended the match.\n\nThe final video in a four-part developer diary series, released August 29, has surpassed 1.4 million views in two days. It covers interface reconstruction, game settings, controller support, server list improvements, and a fix for performance degradation over long play sessions.","whyItMatters":"The wishlist count continued to grow during production of the commemorative video, reaching 3,111,000 at announcement, a sign that demand is still rising ahead of the September 2 update.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eBodycam has been in early access on Steam since June 8, 2024, and is priced at 3,900 yen including tax.
