Warhammer Survivors is now available on Xbox Game Pass

Warhammer Survivors has been available since November 10, 2026. Auroch Digital announced it on Xbox Wire: a bullet heaven style survival game set in the Warhammer universe, available on Xbox Game Pass.

What has been announced

In its post on Xbox Wire, Auroch Digital presents the game as an addictive "bullet heaven" experience, with battles that range from the 41st millennium to the Mortal Realms. The studio is the same one behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and this time it has worked together with Warhammer and poncle, the team behind Vampire Survivors.

The Xbox page lists it on Xbox Series X|S, with Xbox Play Anywhere, and on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass. It does not specify which subscription tiers include it. The listing shows two dollar figures (7.99 and 7.19) with no labels, so we cannot tell you the regular price or whether there is a launch discount; there is no price in euros.

What it means for players

If you have Game Pass, you can play it without buying it. It is a short-session survivors game: you move, your character attacks on its own and you survive ever larger hordes while upgrading weapons. What is new is the universe: the fights are against the Gloomspite Gitz, the faction of cave-dwelling orruks and grots.

Xbox Wire describes several enemies worth knowing:

• Moonclan Stabbas: numerous infantry.
• Squig Hoppers: they bounce unpredictably and get stronger near Loonbosses.
• Mangler Squigs: they come in pairs, and the survivor gets enraged when its partner dies.
• Rockgut Troggoths: slow, but they regenerate.
• Trugg, the Troggoth King: an Extremis-level threat with telegraphed mace strikes and elemental projectiles that cause burning, poison or bleeding.

The announcement does not say whether the game is available in your language, so check the store page for your platform.

A useful detail when deciding whether it is worth it: the "survivors" genre is built on short, repeatable runs in which each attempt leaves you a bit stronger than the last. That the Boltgun team is behind it and that it has the collaboration of the studio that popularized the formula is a good sign of intent, but the announcement includes no content figures (number of characters, weapons or maps), so its real length will only become clear with the first runs and player reviews.

Tips from the announcement

1. Against Rockgut Troggoths, use a pair of Maleneth's poisoned daggers to wear them down from range.
2. With Trugg, look for his weak point: ordinary weapons are not enough to bring him down.
3. Watch the Squig Hoppers' movement, because they do not always bounce in a straight line.
