World of Tanks: HEAT will be available on PC (Wargaming Game Center and Steam), Steam Deck, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and NVIDIA GeForce NOW, with full support for cross-platform play and progression.

HEAT is built from the ground up on a new proprietary engine developed by Wargaming. This technology provides modern visual effects and impressive environments while enabling fast and responsive gameplay optimized for smooth performance across a wide range of hardware.

At launch, players can expect:

  • Eight Agents: three roles on the battlefield - Defender, Assault, and Sniper. Each Agent commands two lethal vehicles, each tailored to their role on the battlefield.

  • Fifteen vehicles: each vehicle supports different play styles and can be fully customized with equipment and modules. Whether you hold the front line or strike from a distance, there’s a tank ready for the job.

  • Eight maps: the battlefield encompasses a wide range of biomes, environments, and visual styles, each designed to support multiple play styles in various game modes.

  • Four PvP modes: Stronghold, Control, Confirmed Kill, and Conquest.
