Vampire Survivors studio poncle has teamed with Auroch Digital on Warhammer Survivors, and it lands on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one, 10 November
Warhammer Survivors launches on 10 November 2026 and arrives on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass the same day, according to the November 2026 Game Pass wave one post published on Xbox Wire on 3 November 2026 by Megan Spurr.
The listing marks the title “Available on day one with XBOX Game Pass!”
Xbox Wire calls it “an officially licensed game from Auroch Digital in partnership with” the “Vampire Survivors developers, poncle”. Auroch Digital is the studio the entry credits the game to. poncle, written in lower case by Xbox Wire, is named there as the Vampire Survivors developers. The post does not say how the work is split between the two studios.
A licensed Warhammer version of the Survivors formula
The entry sells the game on its action, promising players can “Unleash devastating barrages of bullets, blades and magic in the addictive bullet-heaven action of Warhammer Survivors”.
On the setting, the post says players will “Experience Warhammer’s epic champions, enemy factions, weapons and more, meticulously handcrafted in animated pixel glory”.
No price appears anywhere in the post, for Warhammer Survivors or for any other title in the wave. The entries give tiers, platforms, dates and a short description, with nothing on cost.
Warhammer Survivors is not the only entry in this wave connected to Vampire Survivors. Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors was listed for 4 November on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld and PC, described as a game “From the creators of Vampire Survivors” that “turns the thrill of Survivors into a hyper turn based, rogue-lite card driven blobber”. The post does not name poncle on that entry.

Tiers, platforms and the handheld tag
Warhammer Survivors is listed for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Game Pass Premium and Game Pass Essential do not appear on its entry.
That distinction is visible across the wave. Thronefall, dated 11 November, and John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, dated 12 November, are each listed for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass. Pit of Goblin, already available, carries the same three tiers.
The platforms given for Warhammer Survivors are Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld and PC. A footnote at the end of the post defines the last of those: “Игры with a ‘Handheld’ designation represent those that are optimized for handheld play.” Among the other November titles, Vampire Crawlers, Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School, Thronefall and Aphelion carry the same tag.
The rest of the first November wave
Two titles appear under Available Today. Football Manager 27 is on PC through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Pit of Goblin, an online co-op horror game in which players “play as a scrappy goblin, scavenging dungeons, dodging traps, and fleeing monsters,” is on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

The post also lists in-game benefits for subscribers.

The First Descendant Legacy Bundle follows on 17 November.
