With 2,538 concurrent players, Grind Survivors, developed by Pushka Studios and published by Assemble Entertainment, has had a very strong debut on Steam. This is the publisher's second-highest figure to date, surpassing Decktamer (2,418) and Asgard's Fall - Viking Survivors (1,906), which were both released in 2025. Nevertheless, the publisher's most successful game remains Endzone – A World Apart (2021), which peaked at 6,426 concurrent players. Its successor, Endzone 2, was unable to build on this success. Grind Survivors is also available on PC via GOG.com and the Epic Games Store for €12.99, and for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 for €14.99.

Game description: "You take on the role of a towering, armored demon slayer, facing relentless waves of hellspawn across a devastated Earth. Each run bursts into a chaotic, bullet-hell spectacle as you craft devastating builds, hunt for rare weapons, and uncover enigmatic origins. Featuring diverse biomes, increasingly irritable enemies, and an endless mode that never quits, Grind Survivors serves up nonstop chaos where every demon is basically a walking lootbox. It combines the excitement of survival gameplay with the rich progression of a looter-shooter in a scorching, demon-ravaged world."

Grind Survivors was developed by Pushka Studios, an independent Ukrainian game developer founded by a team with years of experience in development, porting and co-development projects. Grind Survivors is their first original title.

Assemble Entertainment is an independent game publisher based in Wiesbaden, Germany. Founded in 2016 by industry veteran Stefan Marcinek, the company is known for indie games such as Sticky Business, Roadwarden, Paddle Paddle Paddle, Lacuna, Asgard's Fall and Decktamer.
