Cross-save is coming to Warhammer Survivors in a free update, Auroch Digital confirmed in its “Roadmap Revealed!” post on Steam on November 13, 2026. The roadmap places it in Update 3, slated for January 2027, and sums it up as “Progression shared across multiple devices.”

Who Gets Cross-Save, and When

  • When: January 2027. The roadmap puts Update 2 (quality-of-life improvements and balancing) and Update 3 (cross-save) in the same January 2027 slot.
  • Cost: nothing. The roadmap marks Update 3 “FREE!”, like the other three numbered updates.
  • Which platforms: not named yet. The game is out on PC (Steam and GOG), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, iOS, and Android, but Auroch has not said which of them cross-save will link or whether it needs an account.
  • What to do now: keep playing where you are. Until the update arrives, a save stays on its own platform, apart from Xbox Play Anywhere linking Xbox consoles with Windows PCs and Steam Cloud linking Steam devices. Our cross-progression guide covers what carries over today.

The Full Roadmap

The roadmap image lays out five slots:

  1. Update 1, “Reinforcements Inbound!” (December 2026, free): new characters, weapons and weapon evolutions.
  2. Update 2, “Quality of Life Improvements” (January 2027, free): quality-of-life improvements and balancing.
  3. Update 3, “Cross-Save” (January 2027, free): progression shared across multiple devices.
  4. Update 4, “Additional Reinforcements!” (Q1 2027, free): more new characters, weapons and weapon evolutions.
  5. “[REDACTED]” (Q2 2027): “ERROR . . . Details classified.”

That last slot is the “larger piece of content” the post teases. Auroch says it has hidden clues to it in the roadmap image. Unlike the four numbered updates, it carries no “free” label, and the studio has not said whether it will cost anything. Auroch says the free updates add to both the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar sides of the game.

The roadmap “isn’t all,” either. Auroch plans regular quality-of-life updates and hotfixes between the larger updates, like the recent Hotfix v.2.1.6, and some will come before the end of this year. On balance, the studio wrote that it hears the complaints about “certain enemies taking perhaps too many bolter shots or chainsword swings to fell,” and that “our priority is working on the core gameplay balance.”

What This Means for Players

At launch on November 10, Auroch had nothing to announce on cross-save. If you play on more than one device, hold off on a second copy until Auroch names the platforms. Our guide to Warhammer Survivors on Switch, PS5, and mobile covers each store.

December’s update adds champions and weapon evolutions, so clear our champion unlock list and weapon evolution guide before the roster grows. If enemies feel too tough before the balance pass, see how to make Warhammer Survivors easier, and every guide sits on our Warhammer 40,000 hub.
