Bodycam is worth it at $33.32 if you want one of the most realistic-looking shooters on PC and can live with Early Access: Steam’s recent user reviews are Very Positive, and the v0.9 update on November 13 brings co-op Zombies back. Wait if you need a finished game, a party system for matchmaking with friends, or a console version: Bodycam is still in Early Access, and the other two do not exist yet.
Below is what the price gets you right now, what Steam reviews say, what is still missing, the PC specs you need, and who should buy now or hold off.

What You Get for the Price
Bodycam is a tactical first-person shooter shown through a police-style body camera, built in Unreal Engine 5 with no HUD: no crosshair and no ammo counter. It was started by Luca and Léo, two French developers who released it at 17 and 20 years old, according to the studio’s Steam page.
Today’s build has:
- Competitive PvP modes. Wingman (2v2), the default competitive mode since v0.8, plus Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Hardpoint and Gun Game.
- A loadout system with weapons and attachments you unlock with in-game currency. Our weapons and attachments guide explains how it works.
- The Trenches map, the big addition from the Locked and Loaded update in September, with trench networks, tunnels and long open sightlines.
- An explorable lobby with a firing range for testing gear, which replaced the old menus.
- Co-op Zombies from November 13. The v0.9 update, The Dead and Damned, brings the mode back for up to four players with a new Zombie Trenches mode, plus a crossbow and TEC-9 for your loadout and Easy Anti-Cheat for multiplayer. Our Bodycam PvE guide covers it.
The appeal is almost entirely the look and the tension. With no HUD, you count your own rounds and identify targets by eye, which makes every fight slower and scarier than in a typical arena shooter.
What Is Still Missing
- A party system. You cannot queue into public matches with friends. Reissad pushed the feature back again in its v0.9 announcement, saying it is rebuilding the multiplayer layer. You can still host a private game for up to 10 friends; see how to play with friends.
- Console versions. Bodycam is PC only. Our guide to whether it is coming to PS5 or Xbox covers what the studio has said.
- Some content. The Oil Rig and Tumblewood maps did not return in v0.8, and Reissad only says it has “plans for both maps in the future.” Several lobby rooms, including the Shoot House, are still closed.
- A cosmetics shop. Operator skins work differently now; our operator skins guide explains why the shop is gone.
Early Access is not a short stay here. On its Steam page, Reissad says it expects Bodycam to “remain in Early Access for several years,” and that the full version will have “no difference” from Early Access: the game just keeps growing until the main features are finished. The studio also warns that “the price of Bodycam could change after early access,” so today’s price is not guaranteed.
Can Your PC Run It?
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Ryzen 7 3700X or Core i7-9700K | Ryzen 7 3800X or Core i7-10700K |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | RX 5700 or RTX 2070 (8 GB) | RX 6600 XT or RTX 3060 (12 GB) |
| Storage | 50 GB on an SSD | 50 GB on an SSD |
Those are demanding numbers for a multiplayer shooter, because the realistic look comes from Unreal Engine 5. If your PC sits near the minimum, our best settings guide has the settings that help frame rate most, and our crash and launch fixes cover the common startup errors.
Who Should Buy It, and Who Should Wait
Buy now if you play solo or with a friend group willing to host private games, you want a hardcore shooter where gunfights are short and lethal, and you enjoy watching a game change update to update. The recent Very Positive score suggests the v0.8 rework landed better than the game’s history, and Zombies adds a co-op reason to play from Friday.
Wait if you want to queue into public matches with a party, you want a finished game with a settled price, or your PC is below the minimum specs. Nothing about Bodycam’s Early Access plan suggests a quick finish, so waiting means watching for the party system rather than for 1.0.
Not sure? Reissad’s own Steam page points out that you can try the game and request a refund through Steam if it does not meet your expectations. Valve’s standard policy covers refunds requested within 14 days of purchase with under two hours played, which is enough time to see whether the bodycam view works for you. Every guide for the game is on our Bodycam hub.
