You can only play Warhammer Survivors solo in the version launched on 10 November 2026. If you're buying it to share a run, there's no couch co-op for a second player on the same screen and no online multiplayer for friends on separate devices. That applies to Steam and GOG, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2, iOS and Android. On Steam, the Family Sharing badge refers to sharing access to the game library. The store lists one supported play mode: Single-player.

Who controls the squad?

When you pick up a weapon your champion can't wield, a follower joins your squad and uses it for you. You still control your own champion, and the follower attacks on its own. Followers cannot take damage or collect items, so leave room to steer your champion towards pickups while your squad deals with nearby enemies. If you already have the game and want more help in a solo run, use weapon pickups to recruit followers.

Is co-op on the roadmap?

Auroch Digital's 13 November roadmap gives no date for local or online co-op. Its January 2027 plan includes cross-save for continuing your own progress across devices. The expansion listed for Q2 2027 has no announced features, so wait for a specific multiplayer announcement before buying a copy for a friend or getting a second controller for shared runs.

The November roadmap lists four updates and one unannounced expansion.
The November roadmap lists cross-save as Update 3. The later expansion is labelled Redacted. · Auroch Digital / Games Workshop
