The update detailed below is available to download and install now on PS5.

The patch is about 385 MB, so it shouldn't take long to get this refreshed version of Vampire Crawlers ready to roll.

To quickly recap, the update brings Endless mode, card sorting, a view of your entire deck, and much more. You can view the full details of the update through the link.

Original Story: Vampire Crawlers, the dungeon-crawling, card-battling spin on Vampire Survivors, is getting a bunch of new content throughout the rest of the year, Poncle and Nosebleed Interactive have announced.

Following the game's launch in April, the dev team has now released a content roadmap for 2026, teasing a wide range of new stuff to see and do in the productivity-destroying title over the coming months.

Vampire Crawlers will receive three big content updates: Death Parade, Bone Deep, and Curdled Tunnels. These will each introduce a post-game Challenge Stage, in which a new mechanic will be employed.

The challenge mechanic in the first update will put a limit on hand size, for example. Once you've beaten each Challenge Stage, you can then use these challenge mechanics in the main game to make your runs tougher, if you want.

On top of that, each update will add new areas, cards, gems, and arcanas, broadening the possibilities of your builds even more.

As well as all the upcoming new content, a patch will soon arrive on PS5 that introduces lots of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.

These include:

  • Easier access to Quit Game option
  • Sorting cards in your hand (by colour or by mana cost)
  • Improvements to Jeweller feature
  • A new deck view that allows you to see your entire deck of cards
  • Endless mode added as an optional post-game challenge
  • Grim Grimoire accessible on level-up screen
  • Cards on level-up screen will notify if they will evolve with your existing cards (if that evolution has already been discovered)

In short, one of my favourite games of the year will soon be even better, and it'll be getting plenty of fresh content to keep me hooked the rest of 2026.
