Developer Pushka Studios and publisher Assemble Entertainment are excited to announce that high-octane action roguelite Grind Survivors will be tearing its way mercilessly into Steam Next Fest from 23 February to 2 March 2026. After an overwhelmingly positive response from the latest playtest and invaluable feedback from the growing fanbase, the team has been hard at work fixing bugs and upgrading the grind in an all-new, polished bloodbath of a demo for Steam Next Fest.
Fight your way through gore to glory!
Strap yourselves in for Grind Survivors, a fast-paced roguelite survivor shooter serving up bullet-heaven chaos with a twist. Players must battle unrelenting waves of enemies to collect obscene hoards of loot. While catching your breath before the onslaught of the next horde, venture to The Forge to upgrade your weaponry and uniquely shape every run through. Weapons can be upgraded, rerolled, fused, or completely destroyed in pursuit of the perfect build – will you harness glorious power or spectacular failure?
“Grind Survivors takes the survivors genre and makes it more extreme in every way – more action, more chaos, more everything,” said Kirill Mukhin of Pushka Studios. “After years of working on various games and porting projects, we’re thrilled to finally present our first original title, a game that channels our creativity and passion for unforgettable gameplay.”
Survive by hacking, slashing and burying your foes..
