Vampire Survivors Fans Should Keep An Eye On This Upcoming Xbox Game Pass Title

Devolver Digital and developer Kenny Sun revealed that Ball X Pit will launch October 15 at today's Nintendo Indie World presentation. The action roguelite will be available day one on Game Pass, as well as PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch. The Vampire Survivors and Loop Hero-inspired game will arrive on Switch 2 later this year.

Ball X Pit was featured earlier this year at the Steam Next Fest in June, and there's still a free demo to check out on Steam. The game features over 60 different balls to use (and fuse) to blast baddies. Plus, when enemies are hit, numbers bounce off the top of them.


When players aren't venturing through autoscrolling levels, you're rebuilding Ballbylon in Ball X Pit. There are over 70 building units to construct a new community. Doing so leads to acquiring power-ups, bonuses, and even new characters.

Interestingly, Ball X Pit wasn't the only day-one Game Pass title highlighted at the Indie World Showcase. Winter Burrow will land on Xbox's subscription service this winter, alongside Switch and Steam releases. Herdling and Ultimate Sheep Raccoon are also set to hit Game Pass.

There are also a handful of games you can play right now on Switch and Switch 2 from the Indie World Showcase. That includes a demo of Mina the Hollower, the next title from Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club that's planned to come out October 31.
