Vampire Survivors has seen a steady stream of updates since its launch, including multiple DLC packs that have expanded the game beyond its original (hefty) form. It’s a game that came out swinging in 2021 and hasn’t stopped throwing haymakers since, and we can’t get enough of its ‘reverse bullet hell’ formula.
The latest patch to be rolled out is arguably one of the largest and most important. A lot has changed here with the inclusion of new modes and a change in engine. We have the full patch notes here so get ready to dig in. To apply the update, simply restart Steam. This will apply the patch to the main game and any DLC you have installed.

When it comes to patches, 1.6 comes out and knocks it out of the park with local co-op being added to every platform – including the recently released Switch port. This finally lets players survive the undead together. It supports up to four players and comes with some tweaks to the core formula to keep things fresh.
Check out our guide to local co-op for a complete breakdown of how this mode works.
This patch also heralds the successful launch of Vampire Survivors new enginge, with its old engine no longer receiving updates. The new engine offers a whole host of performance improvements (among other things) which is excellent news for anyone trying to run the game on a potato PC, Steam Deck, or Switch.
That’s all we have on Vampire Survivors for now. Be sure to check out our other guides, lists, and walkthroughs for more content.
