Just in time for the arrival of the Switch 2, the award-winning and highly addictive roguelike bullet shooter Vampire Survivors has received a Nintendo platform update.

Most notably, it adds the cross-save feature to the Switch version – meaning you can now play your original or preferred save file across all the platforms you own the game on. We've installed this update and have also played it on the Switch 2.

The catch is you'll need to have access to a Poncle or create one, which will then unlock the cross-save "cloud slot" feature. Here are the other updates included in this latest Nintendo patch (via GoNintendo):

The cross-save feature was originally teased and released on other platforms earlier this year, so it's nice to see it's now available on the Switch systems as well.

If we hear about a dedicated Switch 2 update for Vampire Survivors or anything similar in the future, we'll let you know. For now, though, it's fine to play the game in its current state on Nintendo's new hardware. It's also available for just $4.99 / £3.99 (or your regional equivalent) on the eShop.

Have you tried out this game on the Switch 2 yet? Will you be making use of this new feature? Let us know below.
