The Survivalists

The Survivalists Survival Experience

Explore fantastical islands as a castaway, gathering food and materials while avoiding dangerous animals and mythical enemies. Hunger and crafting give the adventure a practical survival loop, while a colorful presentation and monkey companions keep its tone playful.

Survival Loop and Progression

Unlock recipes for food, tools, equipment, and structures, then train monkeys to copy building, gathering, crafting, or combat tasks. Quests, island expeditions, and temple treasure provide objectives beyond maintaining a camp. Procedural landscapes change exploration routes, and trading or cooperative expeditions can help secure better supplies.

Modes and Availability

Available as a paid game on Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, with solo and online co-op for up to four players in total. Switch also supports local wireless play across separate systems; it is not same-screen split-screen. The Complete Edition adds Frostbite Fortress and Monkey Business content, while the standard purchase covers the base game. The linked video is the original 2020 launch trailer.
