The viral indie sensation, Vampire Survivors, is making its way to PlayStation at last. Available on pretty much everything else already, the game invites both PS5 and PS4 to the party this summer.
For the uninitiated, Vampire Survivors is a rogue-lite action game in which your only task is to survive for 30 minutes while enemies endlessly encroach on your position in vast numbers. Your attacks and other abilities trigger automatically; all you need to do is avoid taking damage, and gather XP gems in order to upgrade all your powers. Once you unlock more weapons, discover powerful combinations, and earn some permanent upgrades, it's amazing how strong you can become, filling the screen to the point it's basically impossible to read. Normally that'd be a bad thing, but you're the one causing the chaos, and it feels brilliant.
As well as the regular survival mode, you can also play in co-op, and the game also features several adventure-style story missions to undertake as well. There's a surprising amount to discover in what looks like quite a simple game.
There's no firm date on this just yet, but we're glad to see it's finally making the leap. Are you excited to play Vampire Survivors on PS5 and PS4? Tell us in the comments section below.

Looks like i'm buying a 3rd copy then because yes its that good.
Ooooh yes, double dip time!
Been playing on steam for over 18 months already!
Good lord, it’s about time! I’ll be losing so many hours and sleep to this game. It’s such an addictive experience, and the epitome of “one more run”.
Hell yeah finally! Very fun and addictive game, will certainly buy it again!
The Xbox/game pass contract must be up.
So, so, soooooo good. Incredible support from the devs too, very cheap DLC that adds tons.
Yet another extremely hyped game that I know I won't like. I'm beginning to question my Britishness, with the sheer number of games which aren't my cup of tea..
@Frmknst mobile quality games have been passed off as console games for a while now
Waiting line for Halls of Torment, do it Sony just like with V Rising.
Oh God no, please no! I've just weaned myself off playing the PC release!
@DennisReynolds Same, similar to Mega Man, Galaga, and Balatro, I want to have this one literally every platform I could play it, just in case I want to do a quick game of it.
Endlessly addicting game. Good lord, I was hooked for weeks on the PC Game Pass release!
All I can say is: finally. One of my mates keeps telling me to buy it. Now I can.
@somnambulance Helps that the game and its DLC is super cheap as well.
Finally, a reason to buy a PS5 Pro!
@Frmknst Seems to be the unpopular opinion ,but I agree. I gave it a try on Game Pass, ironically because of Push posting that article about it winning BAFTA last year. I played for maybe an hour, found it amusing, and that was that, and went back to something better. Why do people love this? I don't know. It's a rogue-lite if rogue-lites were a thing on a theoretical Sega Genesis/MegaDrive that could host hundreds of sprites. How is that capturing everyone's goldfish attention spans?
I’ll be super interested to see of this actually lives up to the hype. I actually ended up buying a fair few clones… but didn’t bother actually starting any of them, as I didn’t want them to take anything away from the original.
My initial guess… this wouldn’t have won any awards of it was a PlayStation exclusive. We shall see 🤔
I know this game is popular, but still don't know why? Trailer looks crazy but what's so appealing?
Oh no, I was hooked on this all of last summer on my tablet and looks im about to have a Hot Vampire Summer all over again
Awesome game, but for some reason, I prefer Halls of Torment. Will buy it nonetheless, it’s pure fun.
Dangit I was gonna get a Happy Meal this summer! Guess I'll just have to make the sacrifice for the cheapest great time sink there is.
Remember there was no hype. Until a bunch of people played it (thanks to GamePass and low cost). And enjoyed it. So whether it catches fire in PS, it has exceeded all expectations. I really don't know what the actual hook for me is but I spent way to many hours of my life on this one. Then again, I'm playing Bropotato now, so chalk it up to addictive personality?
@lechugajr game had a lot of Early Access hype well before it came out. It had gained the majority of its fanbase long before the 1.0 release (I bought it in April 2022). Attributing the success of a game that was generally praised for being high-quality at a low price, to being a part of a subscription service, genuinely misses the point.
Maybe by the summer I'll be able to tear myself away from Balatro and get hooked on this
@Americansamurai1 wasnt it in early access?
One of the very few "rogue" games I actually enjoy. Very addicting.
Yippie! I've been waiting for a reason to play it all over again^^
This game is why you upgrade to ps5 pro
Calling it right now that it'll be a part of PS Extra. Finally! The game is dope as hell. Hope it has a fun platinum.
I've just bought myself a PSVita and this game would of been a perfect fit for it. Still happy to finally see it come to PS5
@Toot1st i think it's been out of that for a while now. It came to to switch months ago.
I can't wait to see impressions from people who haven't played it. I'd buy a dedicated handheld for this game alone.
Did you know? this game was made by a developer who worked on slot and poker games.
Just adding to the list: I've got about 300+ hours in this game across both PC and Nintendo Switch. It's so addictive. Generally, it has been priced very cheap, so it's absolutely worth trying when it comes to PlayStation. Check it out!
The Contra DLC looks so good.
I played this game to death on my phone last year. I don't see why I'd buy it again for my PS though.
Finally!! Literally the only thing I've been playing on Xbox over the last couple of months
@Yorozayu no but I've heard very good things about it
Been playing on iPad and wishing that I could play on PS5 with trophy support.
Day 1 baby. Fantastic news.
Platinum trophy pleeeeeeeeeeease!!
@deadfred77 I thought that, but I adore this game.
@Yorozayu I did. And the 32X. Yes. I am the person that owned a 32X and Blackthorne.
@get2sammyb It will be interesting to see if James Stephanie Sterling wrote the lore for the Contra DLC, considering their history with Konami...
Incredible news! this has its hooks in me this year over on xbox, probably my most played game. So so good!
@colonelkilgore You are definitely in for a treat, since our conversation I've put some serious hours in and I'm hopelessly addicted.
Been playing on Switch, can't wait to play it on PS5 as well
