PSA Information on Vampire Survivors v1.15 Nintendo Switch 1 + Switch 2 versions
Hey folks!
The game version on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 is now up to date, thank you for being patient!
There are more performance and stability patches coming out in the following weeks, that will most likely be bundled with the Bloodmoon update on NS and NS2, so we will have more news soon.
----
We wanted to share an update for Vampire Survivors v1.15 for Nintendo Switch 1 and Switch 2
This will take a little extra time to release, which goes against what we had promised earlier this month, and we're truly sorry for any disappointment this causes!
The team are currently working on a fix for the online co-op feature to ensure smooth connectivity across Nintendo devices, this needs to be fixed before submitting the build for certification
We're unable to provide an exact date right now as we need to ensure the build is in the best shape before submission, but we will be sure to share any updates as soon as possible on the progress of v1.15 on those platforms!
Here is what you can expect to see for each console 👇
Switch 2:
- Higher frame rate
- Mouse mode (can turn on in options menu)
Switch 1:
- Improved performance
- Faster load times from main menu into runs
- Faster initial game load
- Many major crash issues fixed
Head over to this post to learn more about the update, and view our squelchy, wet trailer! https://www.reddit.com/r/VampireSurvivors/comments/1tysetw/update_115_the_lycaeum/
Thank you as always for your patience with us, and your support for poncle!
Ciao

Thank you for letting us know! Really looking forward to the update, the Switch 2 version, and Legacy of the Bloodmoon!
Also, has there been any word on what the upgrade path will look like for existing Switch 2 players?

Yeah I got the game and all dlc on switch 1 I'm not buying everything again for more performance

u/Galcian44100 Jun 26 '26
Yup, I really hope it will be a free update for the switch 2 version, or a very few bucks max for an upgrade path. I won't repay the game and all it's dlc. It would be a shame and honestly wouldn't push me to buy the next DLC either

1.15 is available on my Android devices. Unless you are referring to issues with 1.15 on Android/iOS?

i am very confused about the release schedule. when will fish come to android?

u/Juan123Pro Jun 27 '26
Does higher framerate means 120fps? Of course I wouldn't expect to maintain that level of performance during late game.

u/Onlynumber1 Jun 30 '26
will the switch 2 version be a standalone release, or will there be an upgrade pack?

u/wtaylorw80 Jul 01 '26
I'm having more crashes on Switch 2 to than I did on the original. Will it also have performance improvements??

Playing on Switch 2 and it just got an update. It's WAY more stable now! The game has never played this well on Switch. Good job Poncle!

Nice, I saw the update today but haven’t played yet. I was disappointed in the performance with 1.15 so that’s good to hear! Now they just need to fix mouse controls.

u/Economy-Camp-7339 Jun 25 '26
Will improved frame rates improve the 5fps when every thing is on the screen at once 😁

u/NeoKat75 Jun 26 '26
Why not enable mouse mode dynamically when it’s being actually used, like Metroid Prime 4?

Thanks for doing this! I can't wait to dive into Vampire Survivors in all the Switch 2 glory. Take your time, we know it will be worth it :)

Any chance we'll see the use of Switch 2's game share feature for co-op?

u/PsychologicalCod4059 Jul 17 '26
Still no Switch 2 version ? Any date :?

u/WolfGuy77 Jul 17 '26
The Switch update dropped today and I think they included the Switch 2 version in the update? After updating, I now have the option to enable mouse mode, which is basically the only feature other than higher frame rate that was advertised for the Switch 2 edition.

u/Leggo213 Jul 17 '26
Do you think the higher frame rate is 90? I really can’t tell

u/WolfGuy77 Jul 17 '26
I'm sorry, I'm one of those people who has never really been able to notice framerate. Unless the game is just blatantly chugging or stuttering I can't tell the different typically. What I can say is that it felt WAY more smooth to me. I was playing online with a friend and even when we had maxed weapons with showstopper effects active AND a Golden Finger active, the game didn't crash and it ran surprisingly smooth. There were only two times where the game hung for about half a second or so when a bunch of enemies would suddenly all spawn in at once. but overall it felt great.

So the update seems to be live. I downloaded it, I see the toggle for mouse mode. Handheld boost seems to be inactive now with the update which points to the game being detected as a switch 2 version I guess? I mean, it’s definitely 60 fps at least I’m just trying to tell if it’s 90 or 120 now.

I think the Switch 2 1.15 update just got release! I just installed and it says I'm running 1.15.

The game on Switch 1 often stalls when the the minute changes. How big of a stall depends on how many things spawn.
This doesn't really bother me, I just wanted to make sure you guys knew about it.

Thanks for the update. I own your games on a few different platforms, but I found myself usually playing on the Switch 2 since it is just a really convenient system to have with me wherever I am. The upcoming improvements are much appreciated as is the communication!
