Poncle has unveiled the latest update for the seminal auto-aggro game Vampire Survivors for the holiday season. It’s the Whiteout update, also known as update 1.7.0, a festive little addition that will get you into the holiday spirit if you haven’t accepted it into your heart already.
The Whiteout update is absolutely free (Merry Crimbo) and available now. It comes with all the holiday fixings:
Thanks, Santa! Meanwhile, there’s a tongue-in-cheek trailer to watch that will remind you that big department stores have been celebrating the Birth of Christ since July. “If big named stores can do it, why can’t we??” shouts the trailer—damned right.
As a reminder, I was the one who performed the sacrifice and conjured a review for Vampire Survivors after its Switch release.

The only thing you’re risking is a relentless impulse to chase a rush of endorphins. But let’s be honest, social media has probably already conditioned you that way.
Happy Holidays!
Vampire Survivors is available PC, console, and mobile. The Whiteout update (1.7.0) is available now. No, wait, consoles are “soon.” PC is now!
