Warhammer Survivors launch: prices, Game Pass and demo saves

Warhammer Survivors launches on November 10, 2026, bringing single-player horde survival to PC, consoles and mobile, although Apple’s US listing currently expects November 11. The announced base price is US$7.99, £6.39 or €7.49, with selected discounts and day-one Game Pass access. Try the free PC demo before deciding, but expect to start fresh: its progress does not transfer to the full game.

Release date and unlock times

Auroch Digital dates the game for November 10 across Steam, GOG, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iOS and Android. PS4 and Xbox One are not announced, so check the hardware named on the product page.

The US PlayStation Store specifies November 10 at 10:00 UTC: 2 a.m. PST, 5 a.m. EST, 10 a.m. GMT, 11 a.m. CET and 2 p.m. UAE time. That is a PS5 listing, not a confirmed worldwide clock for every version. Steam’s approximate countdown does not establish an exact unlock hour, and we found no developer-wide timetable covering all stores.

There is a real mobile discrepancy: the US App Store currently says expected November 11, despite Auroch’s November 10 announcement. Neither source explains the difference. iPhone and iPad players should use their local App Store date rather than the console clock.

What the full game adds

This is a top-down survival action game from Auroch Digital, developed in partnership with Games Workshop and Vampire Survivors developer poncle. Its advertised launch content includes over 40 playable champions and at least 75 weapons across the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar settings. You build combinations of weapons, upgrades and evolving attacks while surviving increasingly crowded battlefields, rather than buying a traditional squad-command strategy game.

Characters have different starting weapons and statistics. The official roster includes Malum Caedo, Neave Blacktalon, Sebastian Yarrick and Lyssa Ravenya, while enemies include Tyranids, Orks, Death Guard, Skaven, Gloomspite Gitz and Blades of Khorne. Stages range from open landscapes to cramped Space Hulk corridors, with large Extremis bosses adding another kind of encounter.

The squad system does not mean multiplayer. Characters and weapons carry keywords; when your champion acquires a weapon they cannot personally use, a suitable follower joins to wield it. Followers attack for you but cannot take damage or collect items. Auroch’s FAQ confirms single-player launch play, with no announced co-op date.

Demo saves do not carry over

The downloadable Steam demo is a separate sample of the game. Auroch says progress from the earlier demo does not transfer to the October demo, and progress from the demo does not transfer to the full release. Spend time testing movement, readability and whether the upgrade loop suits you, rather than grinding unlocks in the expectation of keeping them.

The newer demo adds champions, weapons and balancing changes. It can test your PC and controls, but cannot settle late-game performance or the complete release’s quality. Steam Cloud support on the full game is a separate feature and does not override the developer’s demo reset policy.

Game Pass and preorder access

Xbox confirms November 10 day-one availability through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, listing cloud, Xbox Series X|S, handheld and PC access. Its announcement does not include Game Pass Premium or Essential for this release. Match your plan and device to the listing: PC Game Pass is the PC route, while console and cloud players should check the Ultimate entitlement shown for the game.

Xbox lists Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves. A qualifying digital Xbox or Windows Store purchase includes the supported Xbox console, Windows PC and Windows handheld versions, with the same account and shared progress. That does not grant a Steam, PlayStation, Nintendo or mobile copy; broader transfers between those stores have not been confirmed in the sources checked.

A preorder is not an early-access ticket: none of the checked announcements promises paid access before the release date or exclusive preorder gameplay content. For help distinguishing devices and cloud availability, see the Xbox app and cloud-access guide. Check the game’s account entitlement as well as device support.

Preload, storage and PC requirements

We found no complete preload schedule across platforms. Check your library’s install status and leave room for updates. Steam’s 5GB requirement means available storage, not a measured download size or a promise that every console and mobile version occupies 5GB.

Steam lists full controller support and a keyboard-only option. Its operating-system information lists Windows, without a native macOS or Linux version. Check current launcher and account notices in your selected store before installing.

Warhammer Survivors is Steam Deck Verified, according to Valve’s current compatibility report. That covers the built-in controls, text legibility and default performance; Valve also notes that external controllers are not supported for the primary player. Check those notes before planning docked play, and do not treat Verified as a specific frame-rate or battery-life promise.

For mobile, Apple currently lists a 909.2MB app requiring iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or later. Its description promises mobile-focused controls and no advertisements or energy mechanics. That listing does not establish Android requirements, and store sizes can change before release. On Nintendo, confirm whether you are selecting the Switch or Switch 2 product; the shared title alone does not establish a free upgrade or identical performance.

Before you buy

Worth buying at launch?

The low announced price, sizeable character roster and free demo make this a straightforward game to investigate before committing. Existing Ultimate or PC Game Pass members have the clearest reason to try the included version first. Buying directly may cost less than starting a subscription solely for this game.

This guide is based on official listings and developer information, not a review of the finished game. We cannot yet judge long-term balance, the complete progression curve or performance in the busiest late-game scenes across every platform. Wait for full-release testing if you need a specific frame rate, and confirmation if cross-store saves are essential. If you need co-op, skip the launch version.
