No, Warhammer Survivors does not have cross progression between platforms. Your champions, Enhancements and coins stay on the platform where you earned them, and developer Auroch Digital said on launch day that it has nothing to announce about cross-save, though “it is something the team are aware of.” The one exception is Xbox: Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves carry your progress between an Xbox console and a Windows PC.
Below we cover exactly what Auroch has said, which platforms do and do not share a save, what carries between the game’s two universes, and what to do if you want to play on more than one device.
What Auroch Has Said About Cross-Save
Cross-save was one of the first requests after Warhammer Survivors came out on November 10. In a Steam discussion thread asking for progress to carry between platforms, an Auroch developer replied that day:
“We hear you on the requests for cross saves between platforms. We don’t have anything to announce today, but it is something the team are aware of.”
That is not a promise, and it is not a no. Until Auroch announces something, treat every platform as its own save, apart from the Xbox and PC link below.
Which Platforms Share a Save
| From | To | Does progress carry over? |
|---|---|---|
| Xbox Series X and S | PC through the Xbox app or Game Pass | Yes, through Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves |
| Steam on one PC | Steam on another PC or a Steam Deck | Yes, through Steam Cloud |
| Steam | Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or mobile | No |
| PS5 | Any other platform | No |
| Switch or Switch 2 | PC, Xbox, PlayStation or mobile | No |
| Nintendo Switch | Nintendo Switch 2 | Not confirmed |
| The demo | The full game | No |
Xbox and PC. The Microsoft Store listing marks the game with Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves, and Xbox Wire’s Warhammer Skulls recap confirmed Play Anywhere. One purchase covers both, and the save follows your Xbox account, including on Game Pass. Our guide to whether Warhammer Survivors is on Game Pass covers which tiers include it.
Steam. The Steam page lists Steam Cloud, so a Steam save follows you between PCs and to a Steam Deck. It does not link to the Xbox version, even on the same PC.
Switch and Switch 2. Nintendo sells two separate listings, and Auroch has not said whether a Switch save moves to the Switch 2 version. Our guide to whether it is on Switch, PS5 and mobile covers each store.
The demo. Auroch’s official FAQ says demo progress does not transfer to the full release, on any platform.
What Carries Between the Two Universes
Warhammer Survivors has a second kind of progression question: how much of your Warhammer 40,000 progress helps in Age of Sigmar. An Auroch developer answered it on the game’s Steam bug-report forum on November 10:
“Coin currency is not shared between the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Universes. As for Enhancements, it is only the final upgrade (signified by the blue/orange squares) that is shared between each universe.”
So coins earned on one side stay there, and only the last rank of each Enhancement counts on both. Each universe also has its own roster of champions, weapons and stages, and our best build guide has a loadout for each universe. Our guide to the best Enhancements to buy first explains how to use that final shared rank.
How to Play on More Than One Device
- Xbox and PC players: buy it once on the Microsoft Store or play it on Game Pass, and your save follows you between console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
- PC and handheld players: stick with Steam, and Steam Cloud keeps your Steam Deck and desktop in step.
- Everyone else: pick the platform you will play on most and stay there. A save on PS5, Switch or mobile does not move anywhere else.
It also helps that the game is cheap: Auroch prices it at $7.99, so a second copy on another platform is an option if you really want to start fresh somewhere else.
Is There Crossplay?
Crossplay does not apply, because the game has no multiplayer of any kind. It is single-player on every platform, and our guide on whether Warhammer Survivors has multiplayer covers what Auroch has said about co-op. For what to unlock first on whichever platform you choose, our best character guide has our picks for each universe, and the Warhammer 40,000 guides hub has the rest.
