Warhammer Survivors Is Out Now for $7.99

Warhammer Survivors launched November 10, 2026, pitting a host of iconic Warhammer characters against endless hordes of enemies for $7.99. Built by Auroch Digital with Vampire Survivors creator poncle, it lets you discover the universes of Warhammer in all their pixel glory, and early reviews are warm but split on whether this type of game does enough to stand apart.

Release Date, Price, and Platforms

The game is out now on PC through Steam and GOG, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, iOS, and Android, per Auroch Digital’s own page. It costs $7.99, 7.49 euros, or 6.39 pounds, with a 10 percent launch discount on select platforms. Steam’s introductory offer of $7.19 ends November 17, and Steam also sells a Vampire Survivors bundle at $10.96, plus a demo. ReSpec’s review tested the Steam Deck and Switch 2 versions and notes there is no cross-save yet.

Is Warhammer Survivors on Game Pass?

Yes. Warhammer Survivors joined Xbox Game Pass on November 10, per Xbox Wire, and Megagames lists it on both Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. PlayDay notes Game Pass Ultimate players do not have to buy it separately.

Where Can I Watch the Official Trailer?

You can watch the Warhammer Survivors official trailer on the Steam page, in Xbox Wire’s launch post, on Gematsu, which hosts the release date trailer, and on Auroch Digital’s site, which features the reveal trailer. Auroch Digital also links its YouTube channel from Steam.

What Is the Game About?

Steam calls it the official grim and dark bullet-heaven game from the developers of Boltgun, set in the 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms. Auroch Digital is a Bristol-based independent video games development studio known for faithful board game IP adaptations including Ogre, Dark Future, and Chainsaw Warrior.

Players pick from a roster of renowned champions drawn from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes, including the mighty Space Marine Sternguard Veteran, Boltgun’s very own Malum Caedo, and the Stormcast Eternal Neave Blacktalon, among a host of others. Gematsu quotes the announcement promising a roster of iconic characters, and players build a growing roster of unlockable characters, each with unique weapons and starting stats. Steam promises an arsenal of iconic weapons drawn from the armouries of the far future, with over 40 characters and 75-plus weapons including the Boltgun, the Astartes Chainsword, and Whirlwind Axes.

Every stage is a new arena of slaughter with its own unique enemy faction, from frenetic battles on the ashen plains of Aqshy to the tight corridors of an abandoned Space Hulk. A mighty cache of passives helps your odds of survival, and the champions of endless war return stronger after every death. The game is © Games Workshop Limited 2026, used under licence.

Enemies and Bosses

Steam promises Tyranid hordes that you can eviscerate with a chainsword, a ravenous Tyranid swarm with myriads of monstrous Xenos bioforms, and Skaven armed with warpstone-addled abominations. Bosses include Ghazghkull Thraka and Vizzik Skour, and Steam says Extremis Bosses challenge even veterans. Xbox’s store listing says enemies come from multiple Warhammer factions, and players face endless hordes of these factions, while Auroch Digital’s tagline invites you to become the embodiment of bullet hell in a universe of relentless war, destroying endless swarms of enemies.

Tips for Beating the Gloomspite Gitz

Xbox Wire’s launch guide spotlights the cave-dwelling Gloomspite Gitz, from swarming Moonclan Stabbas to Squig Hoppers that move unpredictably. Rockgut Troggoths regenerate, so Xbox Wire suggests Maleneth’s Poisoned Daggers to whittle them down from range. The Troggoth King, Trugg, swings a club that creates telegraphed impact zones, and his keystone can inflict burning, poisoning, or bleeding.

How Critics and Players Are Reacting

Reviews are mixed but warm. Pocket Tactics praised its value at $7.99, and Game8 says it is more than a reskin thanks to tabletop-inspired upgrades. ReSpec said it feels like two big DLC packs for Vampire Survivors in one game. Screen Rant gave it 6/10, calling it a low-priced companion piece that does not push the genre forward, and criticized a disorganized interface, while Pocket Tactics found a couple of objectives too grindy.

Steam’s early user reviews are positive, though snapshots differ, with one showing 85 percent of 20 reviews and another 73 percent of 829.
