Vampire Survivors version 1.14 update now available alongside free Balatro collaboration DLC [Update]

The Vampire Survivors version 1.14 update is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC via Steam, iOS, and Android, and will follow for Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Epic Games Store on October 31, developer poncle announced. The free Balatro collaboration downloadable content “Ante Chamber” is also available.

Update 10/28/25: The Xbox versions of the version 1.14 update have been delayed. “Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to deliver the 1.14 update on time for Xbox platforms yesterday,” poncle said in a statement. “We’re very sorry to our Xbox players who were looking forward to playing the update. We’ve submitted new builds to be certified, and the new plan is to launch the Xbox updates as soon as they’re ready. Thank you for your patience. We aim to get the update to you as soon as possible.”

Here are the details:

■ Free Balatro Collaboration for Vampire Survivors is Out Now

• “Ante Chamber” –  A little expansion based on Balatro.
• Featuring four characters, four weapons with their respective evolution, a new stage, and a remix of the Balatro main theme.
• Survarots – A new game mechanic, also available in the base game, to alter character stats and abilities.

■ Online Cooperative Available Now

This is a list of gameplay changes compared to a standard local cooperative run:

• Batch Level Up – Depending on the player count you will only see level up after all players have leveled up. So on four players the level up screen will only show every four levels.
• Downloadable Content – You will only be able to use downloadable content online if every player owns that downloadable content. We’re retro-fitting Online into an originally single player game written in JavaScript by a solo dev, so there are a lot of technical issues we have to move around or worry about later, one of which is the way that downloadable content expansions are handled.
• Free Roam – In online you are not restricted to the same screen, you can all freely move around the stage independently. (Note: You will be pulled into a boss room if any player walks into it.)
• Spectator Mode – When you die in multiplayer you can use the mouse to jump to players who are still alive. You also respawn where they are if you are spectating them.
• Achievements – You will have the choice at the end of the run to carry over any achievements earned in that run back into your own save file.
• Speed Up – Disabled in online.
• Pause Menu – To help flow, when you pause, you do not pause for everyone else, you just get a small window of invincibility.

■ Vampire Survivors Update 1.14 Including “Westwoods” and “Mazerella” is Out Now

• A gamba themed stage: “Westwoods”
• A labyrinth themed stage: “Mazerella”
• A new relic that lets you play Party Mode (play with up to four characters at the same time)
• Two new playable characters
• Two new weapons with their respective evolutions
• One new Character Morph
• One new PowerUp
• Three new Darkanas
• Survarot game mechanic

What Are Survarots?

Survarots are a new form of power creep that is currently usable by the character Secretino and all the Ante Chamber characters. They are vaguely similar to Arcana cards, but are themed after characters from Vampire Survivors and provide different types of bonuses.

■ Update to the Vampire Survivors Downloadable Content “Ode to Castlevania”
