The recent indie game Vampire Survivors has quickly grown in popularity, and even become the latest fad among the members of Hololive.
The trend seems to have started with Roberu from Holostars (Hololive’s male idol group) on February 21st. Then Pekora from the third generation of Hololive picked up the game on February 23rd. From there, Hololive’s biggest star Gawr Gura picked up the game and streamed it for 8+ hours over the course of two days.
Other Hololive members hopping on the Vampire Survivors train includes Sakura Miko, Korone Inugami, and more.
Vampire Survivors is a strange indie game which shot up in popularity late January after its Early Access release in December. At the time of publishing, the game firmly sits in the top 20 most played games on Steam with a 24-hour peak of almost 44,000 players.
