Beachhead: DESERT WAR

BEACHHEAD DESERT WAR was an arcade exclusive release that came out during the Iraq War and as such had textures an graphics associated with the politics of the time. Originally You could not obtain this title on the PC until now with the re-release of the beachhead series. Again you will be assigned to a isolated defense perimeter, protecting a command post in the middle of the desert to repel an unexpected assault. So get ready yet again to face an endless enemy whose resolve was only hardened in the cruel desert environment. Good luck soldier!

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Every appinfo change SteamRaw has observed, grouped by changelist. Tags, features, languages, builds, depots, prices and any other key Steam publishes. Tracking since 2026-09-11 21:45 UTC.

No changes recorded since SteamRaw first saw this app. Every future PICS change will be listed here.
