Warhammer Survivors Release Date: Price, Platforms and Game Pass

Warhammer Survivors is out now, November 10, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (Steam and GOG), and mobile (iOS and Android). The base price is $7.99 / £6.39 / €7.49, cut to $7.19 for a launch-week discount that runs through November 17. It's also included at no extra cost in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass from day one, and a free demo is live on Steam and Xbox for anyone who wants to try it first.

Warhammer Survivors Release Date and Launch Time

Warhammer Survivors launched globally on November 10, 2026, with no regional stagger — the game is live on every confirmed platform as of today. Auroch Digital first revealed the project back in November 2025 as a licensed spin-off built in direct partnership with poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors, under license from Games Workshop. The studio confirmed PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and Switch support in April 2026, then locked in the November 10 release date and price in an announcement on its Steam store page on October 6.

Games Workshop's own Warhammer Community site backed up the date and used the launch to promote an updated demo, so this isn't a leak or a rumour — it's a confirmed, same-day release across console, PC and mobile.

What Is Warhammer Survivors?

Warhammer Survivors is a "bullet heaven" survivors-style roguelite — the genre popularized by Vampire Survivors — reskinned with Warhammer characters, enemies and settings. According to Auroch Digital's own description on its official game page, players pick a champion from either the Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer: Age of Sigmar universe, then fight automatically while moving to dodge incoming swarms, collecting gold and power-ups that evolve their starting weapons into stronger forms over the course of a run.

The studio is best known for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, a retro first-person shooter released in 2023, and this is its second licensed Warhammer project. Auroch Digital developed and is publishing Warhammer Survivors itself, with poncle attached as a design partner rather than publisher, and Games Workshop licensing the setting through its own IP arrangements. That structure is part of why the game carries the official Warhammer Community site's backing rather than being treated as a third-party curiosity — Games Workshop is directly promoting it on its own news channel, which is a stronger signal of an officially sanctioned release than most licensed tie-in games get.

On Steam, the store page lists the game under Action and Role-Playing tags, with secondary tags for Bullet Heaven, Roguelike, Bullet Hell, Pixel Graphics, Top-Down, Score Attack and Arcade — a fairly accurate snapshot of what to expect mechanically. Full audio and subtitle support covers English plus twelve additional languages, and the game includes Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud saves, and Family Sharing support, so progress and purchases can be shared within a household the same way as most modern Steam releases.

Price: How Much Does Warhammer Survivors Cost?

The base price is $7.99 in the US, £6.39 in the UK, and €7.49 in the eurozone, confirmed directly on the Steam listing, the PlayStation Store page, and the Nintendo eShop listing. All three storefronts are running the same launch-week discount — 10% off, bringing the price to $7.19 — through November 17, 2026. There's no separate deluxe or season-pass edition at launch; it's a single $7.99 purchase (or free through Game Pass, covered below).

Platforms: Where to Play Warhammer Survivors

Warhammer Survivors launched simultaneously on seven platforms, which is an unusually wide day-one spread for a game this size. Per Auroch Digital's own platform list and each individual storefront, it's available on:

• PlayStation 5 (via the PlayStation Store)
• Xbox Series X|S, including Xbox Cloud Gaming (via the Xbox Store)
• Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 (via the Nintendo eShop)
• PC, via both Steam and the DRM-free GOG store
• iOS and Android, through the Apple App Store and Google Play

Minimum PC specs listed on Steam are modest: a 64-bit copy of Windows 10, a dual-core 2.4GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, a GTX 750-class GPU, and 5GB of free storage — in line with a 2D, pixel-art survivors game rather than a graphically demanding release. The Switch 2 eShop listing puts the digital download at roughly 980MB.

Is Warhammer Survivors on Xbox Game Pass?

Yes — this one is confirmed directly on Microsoft's own storefront, not just secondhand reporting. The official Xbox store listing shows Warhammer Survivors included in both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass starting on launch day, alongside Xbox Cloud Gaming and handheld support. It is not currently listed under Game Pass Standard or Game Pass Core, so players on those lower tiers will need to buy it outright at $7.99 (or $7.19 during the launch discount) rather than access it through their subscription.

For anyone specifically chasing day-one Game Pass titles, this lands alongside other November additions, making it one of the easier ways to try the game at zero extra cost if you already subscribe.

Free Demo: Try Before You Buy

Auroch Digital and Games Workshop both used launch week to push a free, updated demo rather than relying on word of mouth alone. Per the Warhammer Community announcement, the current demo build — available on Steam and Xbox — lets players try two heroes, Legend of Catachan and Lyssa Revenya, and includes changes made directly in response to feedback from an earlier demo. It's a solid way to confirm your PC meets the (very low) minimum specs before buying, or to decide whether the loop is for you before committing even $7.99.

Gameplay: Champions, Weapons and the Core Loop

The core loop will be familiar to anyone who's played a bullet-heaven game before, but the Warhammer skin changes what you're actually fighting through. Per Auroch Digital's own breakdown:

• Choose a champion from either the Warhammer 40,000 or Age of Sigmar roster — the developer lists over 40 playable characters at launch, each with unique starting weapons and stats.
• Survive and auto-fight across stages tied to a specific enemy faction, including Tyranid and Skaven swarms, while manually dodging and repositioning.
• Collect and evolve gear — more than 75 weapons can be combined with power-ups to evolve into stronger forms mid-run.
• Face down bosses, described by the developer as "Extremis" encounters, at set points in each stage.
• Keep meta-progression between runs — death ends an individual attempt, but gold and unlocks carry over to make your next run stronger, unlocking further characters, weapons and relics over time.

It's a single-player game throughout, with no stated multiplayer or co-op mode on any platform's store listing.

Setting: The 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms

Unusually for a licensed Warhammer game, Warhammer Survivors pulls from both of the tabletop giant's major settings rather than picking one. Stages are split between the grim-dark 41st Millennium of Warhammer 40,000 and the Mortal Realms of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, with locations ranging from the open, ashen plains of Aqshy to the tight corridors of an abandoned Space Hulk, according to Auroch Digital's official game description. That split roster is also where the "over 40 champions" count comes from — players aren't limited to one faction or one universe, and can unlock heroes across both settings as they play.

The enemy rosters lean on recognizable Warhammer factions rather than generic stand-ins. Tyranid swarms and Skaven hordes are both confirmed enemy types on the official game page, which tracks with the two-universe structure — Tyranids belong to the Warhammer 40,000 side of the game, while Skaven are an Age of Sigmar faction. For longtime tabletop fans, that's likely to be as much of a draw as the roguelite mechanics themselves: it's one of the few video games to pull enemy and hero rosters from both settings in the same package rather than committing to just one.

ESRB rated the PlayStation 5 version Everyone 10+, citing fantasy violence and mild blood, which is a notably light rating for a Warhammer property and reflects the game's stylized pixel-art presentation rather than anything close to the tabletop miniatures' grimdark tone.

How Warhammer Survivors Compares to Vampire Survivors

Warhammer Survivors isn't an unofficial clone — poncle, the developer of the genre-defining Vampire Survivors, is directly involved as a partner on the project, and Auroch Digital has been upfront about building on that foundation rather than hiding it. The headline differences for returning Vampire Survivors players are the full Warhammer license (named characters, factions and locations instead of generic horror enemies), a day-one console and mobile launch across seven platforms rather than a staged PC-first rollout, and Xbox Game Pass availability from launch, which Vampire Survivors itself only picked up well after release. The underlying mechanics — automatic attacking, stage-based runs, weapon evolutions, and meta-progression between deaths — are deliberately in the same genre lane.

Other Major Releases This Week

Warhammer Survivors isn't the only new launch competing for attention today. FragPunk's Farlands expansion also went live this week — see our FragPunk: Farlands release breakdown for what changed there — and Football Manager fans have their own new release to track; our Football Manager 27 release guide covers price and platforms in the same format as this piece. If you're shopping around a tight gaming budget this month, it's also worth checking our running list of PlayStation Store Black Friday deals, since several publishers are already discounting ahead of the holiday.

What's Next for Warhammer Survivors

With launch day now behind it, the near-term story for Warhammer Survivors is less about whether it releases — that's done — and more about post-launch support. Auroch Digital hasn't published a public roadmap of paid DLC, additional factions or characters beyond the launch roster, and neither Steam, the Xbox store nor the PlayStation Store list any announced expansions as of publication. The 10% launch discount across PC, PlayStation and Nintendo storefronts is time-limited and scheduled to end on November 17 (November 18 on Switch), so anyone planning to buy outright rather than through Game Pass has a short window to get the lower price. Expect early patch notes and balance changes in the days following launch, as is standard for the genre, and watch Auroch Digital's own channels and the Warhammer Community site for any confirmation of further content.

It's also worth watching whether Game Pass inclusion holds steady. Subscription catalogs rotate titles out on notice, and nothing on Microsoft's current listing commits to a minimum retention window, so players who want to own the game outright rather than risk losing access later may still prefer the $7.99 purchase (or $7.19 during the launch discount) over relying on the subscription long-term. For now, though, the day-one combination of a sub-$8 price, a free demo, and inclusion in a major subscription service makes Warhammer Survivors one of the easier new releases to try this month regardless of which platform you're on.
