Vampire Survivors Online Co-Op Update Coming This Autumn to Nintendo Switch and Consoles

Vampire Survivors, the acclaimed "bullet heaven" rogue-lite developed by poncle, is set to receive a major enhancement this Autumn with the highly anticipated addition of online co-op gameplay.

Since its original launch, Vampire Survivors has become a favorite among indie gaming fans thanks to its fast-paced action and chaotic multiplayer experiences, particularly in local co-op mode.

Now, with version 1.14, poncle aims to expand the game's trademark mayhem online, bringing friends together across platforms including Nintendo Switch, PC, and other major consoles. The Arrival of Online Co-Op in Vampire Survivors In an official announcement from poncle, the development team confirmed that online co-op will be introduced to Vampire Survivors with the upcoming 1.14 update, arriving in Autumn 2025.

Players will be able to form parties of up to four and tackle the game's diverse and challenging stages together via online matchmaking.

"We're thrilled to let players team up with friends around the world," a poncle spokesperson stated, highlighting the increased accessibility and replayability that online multiplayer offers. Online co-op will allow teams to freely explore fan-favorite maps and confront notorious challenges like Astral Stair and Room 1665.

Whether your crew maintains tight formation or splits up to conquer objectives independently, the intensity is sure to rival even the wildest local co-op sessions that have made Vampire Survivors a staple on the Nintendo Switch eShop and beyond. Ongoing Content and Future Reveals This major update is just the beginning of a series of content expansions planned by poncle.

Over the next month, the developer has committed to unveiling multiple new features, with the next big reveal scheduled for the week following this announcement.

Community anticipation continues to mount, especially after poncle’s recent rollouts, which included a cross-save functionality for the Nintendo Switch version in June 2025 and a SaGa-themed DLC collaboration in April, produced in partnership with Square Enix.

These enhancements have solidified Vampire Survivors as a continually evolving title in the indie scene. While speculation about other platform-specific features—such as a potential Switch 2 Edition or mouse controls—remains unaddressed, poncle has reassured fans that more answers are forthcoming as part of their ongoing update schedule. What Stays Ahead for Vampire Survivors on Switch and Beyond? Vampire Survivors’ growing popularity and poncle’s ongoing support for multiplayer and cross-platform services keep it at the forefront of the indie gaming community.

The planned introduction of online co-op on Nintendo Switch and other platforms marks a significant step forward, empowering players to cooperate and survive together—no matter where they play.
