Digitality Games has released its action-farming roguelite on PlayStation 5 on 30 September 2026. Xbox pre-orders are open with a 20% discount ahead of the 7 October release.
Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire is now available on PlayStation 5. Its premise turns vampire tradition into a farming problem. Xbox players must wait until 7 October 2026, while pre-orders are open with a 20% discount. Push Square and the Upcoming Games release tracker also list the 30 September PlayStation launch. iXBT Games included the game among that week's PlayStation Store releases.
PlayStation launch
The PlayStation 5 version launched on 30 September 2026. Digitality Games developed the game at its Portuguese studio. It is an action-farming roguelite set in Transylvania, the homeland of Dracula. Push Square and Upcoming Games use the same developer, genre and setting details in their release listings.
That setting drives the game's central conflict. Voltaire is Dracula's youngest son. He has abandoned blood after an epiphany and is trying to survive on plants instead. His father does not accept the decision. Dracula sends supernatural minions to attack the farm. Early descriptions from GamesAsylum and the Upcoming Games game card present the blood-free diet as the basis for the farming and survival systems.
The platform rollout is split. PlayStation 5 players can start now. The Xbox version is being prepared for its 7 October release. GamesPress lists the PlayStation 5 version as the first release, while the Xbox listings in the available material give the separate 7 October date.
Farming by day
During the day, Voltaire grows crops, expands the farm and explores new areas. Players plant magical seeds and gather food that makes the protagonist stronger. Every successful harvest helps him pursue his goal of becoming the world's first vegan vampire.
Farming is not just a backdrop. Crops provide the resources needed to develop Voltaire. Exploration also opens more ground where those resources can be collected. The available description does not give the full upgrade structure, the range of crops or the number of territories. Those details remain unconfirmed.
The roguelite label points to repeated runs or changing challenges. The supplied information does not explain what happens to progress after failure. It also does not say whether areas are procedurally generated or which permanent upgrades carry over between attempts. The genre label alone cannot answer those questions.
Dracula strikes at night
At night, farming becomes a defence job. Dracula sends minions to destroy Voltaire's crops and push him back toward a conventional vampire diet. Players must protect the work completed during the day. The day and night cycle is part of the game's established premise, not a detail inferred only from its genre.
Defence means fighting hordes of supernatural creatures, facing powerful bosses and using Voltaire's vampiric abilities. The source confirms that these powers are part of the combat system. It does not provide a full ability list, explain the boss roster or say whether combat difficulty changes between runs.
The split between day and night gives the game a clear rhythm. Players gather and grow before dark, then defend the farm when the threat arrives. That is a stronger gameplay hook than the vegan joke on its own because the premise controls the resource cycle and Voltaire's conflict with Dracula.
Xbox timing
Xbox pre-orders are open with a 20% discount. The version is scheduled to arrive on 7 October 2026. No price, edition breakdown, cross-platform feature or technical specification has been provided. The discount is the only confirmed pre-order condition in the available material.
The announcement also does not give resolution modes, frame-rate targets, save-transfer support, cross-play or platform-specific features. That leaves the PlayStation 5 launch as a release announcement, not a technical comparison between the console versions. Xbox players have a date and a discount, but no detailed performance profile.
Websites, content creators and industry professionals can request a key through Press Engine. Those who do not use that platform can use the supplied Google form. This access route does not confirm review availability or show that independent testing has taken place. An earlier demo report likewise did not replace a full review.
Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire is now a PlayStation 5 release rather than a future promise. Xbox follows seven days later. The game's strongest confirmed idea is the direct link between farming, survival and defence at night. Without platform performance data or fuller roguelite details, the fair assessment is that Digitality Games has delivered an unusual genre mix. Its appeal will depend on how well those systems work together in play.
