We have finally gotten some good news from poncle about Vampire Survivors! It’s been quite dry with the new content in the game, but that is completely understandable as they have been working on a new engine night and day in order to drastically improve the performance of the PC and Steam Deck versions of the game. Android and Xbox players are, technically speaking, already on this engine, and it’s finally time for you to test it for yourself on PC and Steam Deck.
Prima Games delivers a Quick Guide on how to Test the New Engine which will improve your game’s performance, reduce your lag and stuttering, and bring sharper and prettier graphics.
