There's always a dogfight on: watch Warbirds live, 24/7
Warbirds now runs its own around-the-clock broadcast — a live feed of a real match, edited on the fly by a director that chases the action. Drop by any time and there's a fight to watch before you even click play.
A channel that never goes dark
Head to the live page and you'll find an actual Warbirds match in progress, streaming live to YouTube and Twitch at the same time. Not a trailer, not a highlight reel — the real game, right now, with real and AI pilots mixing it up over the islands. It runs 24 hours a day, so there's always something on.
It's the best possible answer to "what is this game, actually?" Instead of reading about Warbirds, you can watch a few minutes of it and see the dogfights, the ships, the bombing runs, and the searchlights for yourself before deciding to jump in.
The robot in the director's chair
A fixed camera pointed at the sky would be dull. So the broadcast has a director — an automatic one. It watches the whole map at once, keeps a running sense of where the action is hottest, and cuts to it. A kill yanks the camera over immediately. A building brawl pulls it in close. And every so often, when the fight is busy, it pulls way back for a sweeping wide shot before diving back into the scrum.
It's not a person, but it watches the match like one — following the story, cutting on the big moments, and never lingering on a quiet corner of the map.
You even hear it: the stream carries the game's real audio, so the engine drone of whatever plane the camera's riding, the guns, and the explosions all come through. It feels like a broadcast, not a screen recording.
It looks after itself
Running something live around the clock means it has to survive everything — rounds ending, restarts, the odd hiccup — without anyone watching over it. It does: when a match wraps or the connection drops, the feed quietly rejoins the next one and carries on. No dead air, no frozen frame at 4am.
Why we did it
Honestly? The best advertisement for a multiplayer game is watching it being played. We can't be live at the stick every hour of the day — so we taught the game to put on its own show, all day, every day. Tune in whenever; there's always a fight on, and you're one click away from being in it.
