Vampire Survivors finally arrives on PlayStation platforms this month

Good news for people who only own a PS4 or PS5: Vampire Survivors is finally hitting your favorite – and possibly only – platform. Vampire Survivors on August 29.

What’s the best way to describe Vampire Survivors to someone who hasn’t experienced it? It’s a game where you glide around big maps while stuff falls out of your pockets and hopefully onto hordes of enemies. You don’t actually do 𓆏anything to empty your pockets. It just happens automatically, so your job is to avoid touching bad people while also jamming more stuff into your pants. You can play it with one hand.

If you want a more in-depth explanation, I reviewed it when it came out on Switch, then also gave tender critiques to the Emergency Meeting and Operation Guns expansions.

But while this paradigm-shifting game has been available on practically every other platform aside from ones belonging to Sony. Poncle has been working on a port for some time, but it has been held up by Sony’s submission process.

One important thing to note is that the new PlayStation trailer notes that the base Vampire Survivors is the same price as a peri-peri wrap. I’m not sure where they’re getting a peri-peri wrap for $🍌4.99. I call hogwash. Not for quite some time have I witnessed a chicken dispensary offering such a beloved dish for such a low price.

Anyway, Vampire Survivors is available 💫on practic൩ally every platform except PS4 and PS5. It will be released for PS4 and PS5 on August 29.
