No, Warhammer Survivors has no multiplayer: no online co-op, no local couch co-op and no versus mode. It came out on November 10 as a single-player game on every platform, and developer Auroch Digital has said on its official Steam forum that “at launch, we’ll be focusing on the single-player experience,” with a promise to tell players if multiplayer is ever added later.
Below we cover exactly what Auroch has said about co-op and cross-save, what each store listing confirms, why the game skips the local co-op that Vampire Survivors added, whether multiplayer could arrive in an update, and what you need to know about price and platforms. Everything is from Auroch’s posts and the official store pages.
What Auroch Has Said About Multiplayer
Co-op has been one of the most common questions since the game was announced in November 2025. A thread on the Steam discussion board simply titled “Co-op?” dates back to announcement day, and in April 2026 an Auroch Digital developer answered it directly:
“Hi folks, at launch, we’ll be focusing on the single-player experience, but should that change and we add multiplayer in the future, we’ll be sure to let the community know.”
Asked in the same thread whether a single-player game would need a constant internet connection, the developer replied that “it can be played offline.” Auroch’s official FAQ says the same at launch: Warhammer Survivors is single-player.
On launch day the question moved to cross-save. In a Steam thread asking for progress to carry between platforms, an Auroch developer replied on November 10: “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.”
What Every Store Listing Says
The store pages agree with Auroch’s answer:
| Platform | What the listing shows |
|---|---|
| Steam (PC) | Single-player, with no co-op, online or Remote Play Together tags |
| PlayStation 5 | 1 player, offline play enabled |
| Xbox (console and PC) | Single player only |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Single player |
The Steam page for Warhammer Survivors lists features such as achievements, Steam Cloud and full controller support, but nothing for multiplayer. The PlayStation Store listing shows “1 player,” and the Xbox store listing lists single player as its only play mode.
Why No Co-Op When Vampire Survivors Has It
This is the part that surprises fans. Warhammer Survivors is made in partnership with poncle and is “built on the foundation of Vampire Survivors,” as Auroch puts it, and Vampire Survivors added local co-op in an update after its own launch. Our explainer on whether poncle made Warhammer Survivors covers how the two games are related.
Auroch has not explained the decision beyond its statement about focusing on single-player. What it has said is that this is not a reskin: “every single character, stage, enemy, power-up, and secret has been crafted from scratch,” per its official FAQ. The studio fit two complete Warhammer universes, each with its own roster, weapons, enemies and stages, into a game that sells for $7.99. Co-op would need its own balancing on top of all that, which is a plausible reason to leave it out of version one, though that is our reading rather than anything Auroch has said.
The closest thing to a squad is the game’s follower system: champions you rescue fight beside you for the rest of the run, and weapons your champion cannot wield bring an ally to carry them. Those allies are run by the game, not by a second player.
Could Multiplayer Come Later?
It is possible, and the developer’s wording leaves the door open: “should that change and we add multiplayer in the future, we’ll be sure to let the community know.” Vampire Survivors itself is the precedent, since its co-op mode arrived well after release.
Auroch has also promised a free content update before the end of the year, in its November 11 hotfix post, but it has not said what is in it, and nothing it has posted mentions co-op. Until Auroch says otherwise, buy Warhammer Survivors as a single-player game, and treat any co-op update as a bonus if it ever arrives.
