Fans of Vampire Survivors simply can’t get enough of the pixelated chaos. While some of us are choosing to play the game on Xbox (me), others go for the PC version, while a few may be opting for the Switch or even mobile ports. However, PlayStation users have been out of luck thus far.
When will PS4 and PS5 users get to play the indie hit sensation? Currently, there’s still no word on that, but developer Poncle has given an update about what’s happening on that front.
In a couple of posts on X/Twitter recently, the Vampire Survivors creator said this is the first time the team has been “going through submission processes on PlayStation,” which means it’s “taking a little longer than usual.” The developer is also doing some “trial and error on Trophies” to get them just right.
Patience will be appreciated
This does, however, mean that a PS4 and PS5 version could still be some way off, but Poncle has assured us that fans will know more about a “solid date” as soon as possible. Many in the comments are just grateful to be getting any kind of update at this point.
An immediately gripping experience, Vampire Survivors has been a pretty big deal since it released in October 2022. Currently, it has an Overwhelmingly Positive review score on Steam, helped by the studio continuing to pump out new content.
We recently got the Operation Guns DLC, which mixes the vanilla experience with some bombastic Contra-style action. If you want to know what it’s like to actually be the bullet hell, you should absolutely check the game out. Here, I did a Vampire Survivors guide to get you started.
