Yes. Warhammer Survivors joined Game Pass on day one, November 10, 2026, and it is included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Xbox lists it for Xbox Series X|S, PC, handheld and cloud play, but not for Game Pass Premium or Essential.
Below is exactly what Xbox has confirmed, how to play it on each device, what happens to your save, whether it is on PlayStation Plus, and what it costs if you would rather buy it.
Which Game Pass Tiers Include It
Xbox announced it in its November 3 Game Pass post, listed for November 10 with the line “Available on day one with Xbox Game Pass!” The post names two tiers and four ways to play:
| Tier | Included | Where you can play |
|---|---|---|
| Game Pass Ultimate | Yes | Xbox Series X and S, PC, handheld, cloud |
| PC Game Pass | Yes | PC, including Xbox handheld devices running Windows |
| Game Pass Premium | No | Buy it to play, or to stream it |
| Game Pass Essential | No | Buy it to play, or to stream it |
The Microsoft Store listing matches: it shows the game as part of PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate, and adds “Game purchase required to stream with Xbox Game Pass Essential or Premium.” Xbox marks it as Handheld, which it defines as “optimized for handheld play.”
How to Play It on Game Pass
- On Xbox Series X|S: open the Game Pass section from the Xbox home screen, or press the Xbox button and search for “Warhammer Survivors,” then select Install. This needs Game Pass Ultimate.
- On PC: open the Xbox app, sign in with the account that has Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, search for the game and select Install.
- On a handheld: Xbox handheld devices run the PC version through the Xbox app, the same way as step 2.
- In the cloud: with Game Pass Ultimate, stream it with Xbox Cloud Gaming instead of installing, on a console, PC, phone, tablet or supported TV.
If the game does not show up as included on your device, check which tier you have: Premium and Essential do not include it, so they only offer the purchase.
Your Save Moves Between Xbox and PC
The Microsoft Store listing marks Warhammer Survivors with Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves. Play Anywhere means one copy covers both Xbox and PC, and cloud saves keep your progress with your Xbox account, so champions you unlock on a console carry over when you continue on PC or in the cloud.
That stops at the Xbox ecosystem. The Steam version saves to Steam Cloud, and Auroch Digital has not announced cross-save between Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and mobile. If you start on Game Pass and later buy it on Steam, expect to start over. Our guide to unlocking every champion covers how long that takes.
Is It on PlayStation Plus?
No. Warhammer Survivors launched on PS5 as a regular purchase, and Sony has not announced it for any PlayStation Plus tier. It is also a purchase on Switch, Switch 2, Steam, GOG, iPhone, iPad and Android; our guide to whether it is on Switch, PS5 and mobile covers every version.
Should You Buy It Instead?
Auroch’s launch post on Steam lists the price as $7.99, £6.39 or €7.49 with a 10% launch discount, which put it at $7.19 on Steam and the Microsoft Store on launch day. At that price, buying makes sense if:
- You do not have Ultimate or PC Game Pass. Premium and Essential members have to buy it anyway.
- You want to keep it. Game Pass games stay only while you subscribe and while the game is in the catalog, and Microsoft has not said how long this one stays.
- You play on Steam Deck or another platform. Auroch says the Steam version is Steam Deck Verified.
Auroch’s launch announcement also added a Warhammer Survivors and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 bundle on Steam. Our guide to whether Boltgun 2 is on Switch and Game Pass covers that game’s very different platform story.
Does Game Pass Get Multiplayer or Updates?
There is no multiplayer to miss: Warhammer Survivors is single-player, and our multiplayer guide covers what Auroch has said about co-op. On post-launch plans, Auroch’s launch post says it would “love to keep the bullet hell chaos coming” with new champions, weapons and enemy hordes, but that the team will first take in the launch, with post-launch news to come.
