PlayStation’s Legal Battle Stalls Vampire Survivors Cross-Save

Apr 09, 2025 10:08 AM

Vampire Survivors' cross-save feature for PlayStation 4 and PS5 has been delayed due to a legal issue that prevents the developer, Poncle, from sharing necessary information with partners. While the chances of releasing this feature on PlayStation consoles look slim, Poncle is committed to working on a solution. The developer apologized for raising expectations, noting that using cross-save for trophy unlocking on PlayStation is restricted. Meanwhile, cross-save will still arrive on PC, Xbox, and mobile platforms. Additionally, Vampire Survivors continues to gain recognition, winning multiple BAFTA awards including Best Evolving Game and adding an animated series to its lineup.

When will cross-save be available for Vampire Survivors on PlayStation?

The release date for cross-save on PlayStation remains uncertain due to ongoing legal issues, with the situation looking slim but not impossible for resolution. Poncle is actively working to sort out the difficulties that caused the delay.

Vampire Survivors is a unique survival action game known for its minimalist design and engaging mechanics, which challenge players to survive against hordes of enemies. Since its launch, the game has garnered a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim, highlighted by significant awards such as BAFTA's Best Game. Additionally, its upcoming animated TV series marks an exciting expansion of its universe, further cementing its place in the gaming culture.

Bummer about the PlayStation cross-save delay, but hey, at least PC and mobile players won’t miss out—plus, that BAFTA glow-up and animated series are solid consolation prizes. Poncle’s hustle to fix this shows they’ve got heart, even if Sony’s rules are playing hardball.

Legal hurdles are always a bummer, but it's cool to see Poncle staying transparent and pushing forward with cross-save on other platforms. At least the animated series gives fans something fresh to look forward to while they sort this out Trophy restrictions on PlayStation sound like a weirdly specific roadblock, but Vampire Survivors’ BAFTA wins prove the game’s momentum isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
