The Long Survival launches August 27th on PS5! Final release date + PSVR2 update details

After some back and forth, we finally have a set date with no turning back. August 27th is the official day SpaceCorp lands on PlayStation 5!

This version includes a massive wave of improvements and updates we recently rolled out across our other platforms. Expect brand-new character designs, a revamped enemy movement system, an updated progression and XP system, and a major rebalancing pass overall.

On top of that, we are leveraging the full power of the hardware with native 120Hz (no reprojection), fully customized adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback support.

As some of you might have seen yesterday, we ran into a technical glitch where the store page activated early without the game actually being purchasable. Unfortunately, as a result of that bug, we lost all of our accumulated wishlists on PlayStation.

If you were already planning to check the game out, it would mean the world to our team if you could head over to the Store page and re-add it to your wishlist before August 27th.

Thank you so much for the patience and support while we sorted this out. See you all on the battlefield very soon! 👊

We’ve heard you loud and clear, and here it is!!

When we first came up with the name, we wanted something unique, something that would stand out and be easily recognizable.
Deep down, we knew it bent the rules of grammar a bit, but we thought it had its own specific charm. 

However, looking at your feedback, it’s completely clear: you were right.

A great game isn't just built by developers, it’s shaped by its players. Your honest feedback is exactly what we needed to take this step and give the game the polished, international identity it deserves.

As you can imagine, updating everything across Steam, Meta, and PlayStation takes a bit of time and paperwork behind the scenes. You might still see our old name popping up in a few places over the next few days, so please bear with us while we complete the transition across all platforms.

We appreciate your patience more than you know! We cannot thank you enough for your incredible support. We will keep doing everything in our power to keep growing, improving, and, above all, listening to the community.
You are the true driving force behind Friendly Fire Studios💙

Best,
The Long Survival Team

Today is a very special day for us.

Ever since we started making games, releasing a game on Steam was always one of those dreams that felt far away. When you enter the video game industry, you always imagine that moment… the moment you finally press the “Publish” button.
We already released on Meta. And it was something truly special. But Steam… feels different. It’s that moment you always imagine.

And today, we finally did it: A Long Survive is now available on SteamVR!!!

A Long Survive is a brutal coop VR survival shooter focused on massive enemy hordes, teamwork, base building, and pure chaos. Fight alongside your squad, protect the Nexus, build defenses, unlock skills, and survive increasingly intense enemy waves.

The game also features full crossplay between SteamVR and Meta Quest (soon PSVR2).

To everyone who supported us during development, thank you. And to everyone who stayed by our side through the delays and difficulties… seriously, thank you for the patience and support. It means a lot to a small indie team like ours.

Now it’s time to enter the battlefield, Soldier… and die with honor. ⚔️

SteamVR Soldiers… the wait is finally over. (Alright… YES. This time for real. 😭)

After a really long couple of days fixing Crossplay issues, we finally managed to get SteamVR and Meta Quest fully connected and stable.

Because of that, A Long Survive officially launches on SteamVR on May 21st.

We originally wanted every platform to launch together, including PSVR2. But at this point we didn’t want SteamVR players to keep waiting any longer while we finish the last PSVR2 Crossplay adjustments.

The PSVR2 version is VERY close too, and as soon as Crossplay is fully ready there, we’ll announce the release date immediately. 🎮

So soldiers… are you ready for the battle? 🔥
Fight against massive enemy hordes in this brutal coop VR survival experience where teamwork, strategy, and fast reactions are the key to survival.
Defend the Nexus, build defenses, unlock powerful abilities, and survive increasingly chaotic waves with your squad.

And yes… This new version is a HUGE step forward:
✅ New Horde System
✅ Full Crossplay between SteamVR & Meta Quest
✅ Major Visual & Gameplay Improvements
✅ New Map: Atlas
✅ Tons of balancing & gameplay changes
✅ And much more

We honestly can’t thank you enough for all the support during the delays. Seeing people forming squads, asking for updates, and sticking with us genuinely helped us keep pushing forward. ❤️

And as promised… the launch will also come with discounts.

➡️ Steam Launch Discount
➡️ Meta Quest Discount Code alongside the new update

We’ll share the discount code on launch day!

Hey, Soldiers!
We wanted to share an important update with you.

After a lot of thought (and not an easy decision), we’ve decided to delay the launch of A Long Survive to May 14th.
We want to sincerely apologize for announcing this delay so close to launch.

Over the past weeks, we’ve been running internal playtests and carefully reviewing feedback. Based on what we experienced, we believe the best move is to take a bit more time to fix some issues that were affecting gameplay and further polish the core systems of the game.

We want to be transparent with you, so here are some of the things we’ve been working on:

• Energy Grid Performance: The grid in the energy zone was using an additive material, which caused performance issues (especially during recordings or streaming due to its transparency, as reported by playtesters who were capturing gameplay). We’re replacing it and also improving the system behind it. Instead of each actor having its own grid, actors now request placement from a single master grid system. This improves the grid system’s efficiency by up to 80%.
• Enemy Wave Balance: With the new horde system, we managed to push enemy counts much higher, but we noticed some waves felt unbalanced (some were too overwhelming, while others dropped too much in intensity). We’re working on finding the right balance between enemy quantity and difficulty. Elite Enemies Tuning Elite enemies… were sometimes a bit too elite. We’re adjusting them to feel challenging, but fair.
• Lobby Size Adjustments: Our lobby turned out to be a bit too large. Our testers have been doing a lot of walking 😅. We’re tightening it up to improve flow and comfort.
• Co-op UX Improvements: We’re adding new icons to improve the online co-op experience. You’ll be able to see which platform each player is on, and who is speaking (or muted) with a speaker icon next to their name.

We believe these changes (especially the performance improvements and wave balancing) are important enough to justify a short delay.

As a thank you for your patience, we’ll be offering:

• A launch discount on PSVR2 and SteamVR
• A discount code for new Meta Quest players

*We’ll share more details soon on our social media and Discord Community.

We really hope this delay doesn’t make you lose interest. We’re working hard to make sure the game is worth the wait.

See you on the battlefield on May 14.

Thank you all for your understanding.

The Stop Killing Games initiative has been gaining serious traction recently, especially across Europe through the European Citizens' Initiative process, where it has already surpassed the required signature threshold for formal review.

Today, the petition reaches the European Parliament with 1.2 million signatures.

It aims to address a growing issue in our industry: games becoming completely unplayable once publishers shut down their servers.

We wanted to take a moment to talk about it.

From the very beginning, this felt like a genuinely important movement. As players, many of us have been affected by server shutdowns more than once. What used to feel like an unfortunate exception has slowly become something normal (almost expected) due to how fast the market moves.

Personally, the first time I really felt this was with Anthem.
Yeah… I might be one of the few people who actually loved that game. And seeing it fade away like that was honestly painful.

So seeing this initiative gaining visibility is something we truly celebrate.

— Stop Killing Games and our game

From our side as developers, we’ve tried to approach this problem differently.

Our game, A Long Survive, uses a peer-to-peer (P2P) system instead of dedicated servers. Not just because we’re not a competitive game, but because we wanted to ensure that players who buy the game can always access it.

No matter what happens on our end, you can still jump in and play with your friends.

We believe this should be part of the conversation.
Ownership should mean something.

And you? Have you ever lost access to a game you loved? Do you think developers should be required to keep games playable?

Or do you think, like many people, that this will discourage indie developers from adding online features to their games?

Prepare for the ultimate VR survival challenge. A Long Survive is the most intense and hardest VR shooter, featuring the largest enemy hordes ever seen in virtual reality, and it arrives on SteamVR and PSVR2 on April 30.

• Crossplay & Co-op: The game will be available across three platforms: SteamVR, PSVR2, and Meta Quest (where it is already available). Play strategically with your friends no matter the platform, or jump into co-op matches. Teamwork is essential to survive.
• Biggest VR Hordes: A new horde system allows us to create enemy waves so massive they will fill your entire visor. Get ready for the largest hordes ever seen in VR.
• Shooter Action: Skill and precision are key to completing missions. If you're looking for an easy and casual experience, this is not your game.
• Build & Strategy: Manage your resources and build defenses to overcome enemy waves. Without strategic thinking, survival is impossible.
• Heroes & Progression: Improve with every mission and unlock new abilities. Grow stronger over time. Choose between 4 unique heroes, each with their own abilities and playstyle.
• Large-Scale Maps: Get ready to find the perfect position across a variety of large maps. Choose where to fortify and prepare your defenses carefully.

Do you think you're ready to survive? Join the Space Corp and fight against the biggest enemy hordes ever seen in VR.

These updates will also be available for Meta Quest on launch day.

All of this will be available on April 30.
