What Is BitLife Vampire Mode?
Vampire Mode is an official paid add-on from Candywriter, announced on BitLife's website on October 30, 2025. Once bought, it works for every character you play. According to the official update page, it lets you:
- Absorb essence from victims to level up your powers
- Survive Vampire Hunter attacks
- Make vampire babies and build a bloodline
- Hypnotize weak humans to do your bidding
- Feast on enemies
- Strive to become a Vampire Lord
We don't list a price because store prices vary by country and change over time. Check the Store in your game.
How to Become a Vampire in BitLife, Step by Step
- Buy Vampire Mode from the in-game Store.
- Start a new life. Guides report no stat requirements.
- Age up to 18.
- Open Activities, then tap Vampire Mode.
- A vampire offers to turn you. Accept the bite.
Besides the Vampire Mode menu, players also meet vampires by going clubbing, taking walks, dating, hooking up or buying a vampire castle.
What Happens After You Turn
When you rise, you get one Vampiric Power and one Blood Curse, inherited from the vampire who turned you. The power helps you; the curse is a weakness. Both stay hidden until after the bite.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Essence | Replaces Health; feeding raises it |
| Hunting | Drink from victims to grow stronger |
| Hypnosis | Make weak humans obey you |
| Familiar | A human servant who brings you prey and runs tasks |
| Progeny | People you turn; you can hunt with them |
| Blood bank | A backup source of blood when hunts fail |
| Coffin | Lie low to lower notoriety |
| Animal form | Helps you escape tight spots |
If you go years without using your abilities, you start to wither: your powers fade and your essence drops.
Notoriety and Vampire Hunters
Every bite, blood bank raid and kill raises your notoriety. High notoriety attracts Vampire Hunters, who can attack you while you hunt. When you meet one, you can try to escape, fight or even befriend or seduce them. Your Vampiric Power affects how well you survive.
To cool things down, rest in your coffin, which lowers notoriety. Our Vampire Lord guide covers notoriety and hunters in more depth.
Can You Live Forever in BitLife as a Vampire?
Vampires don't catch diseases and don't need human food, so as long as you keep feeding, you can live for a very long time. That is the closest thing to how to live forever in BitLife. You are not invincible, though: hunters and other vampires can kill you.
How to Become a Vampire in BitLife for Free
There is no free way to get real vampire powers. Before the update, players ran a fan-made vampire challenge: live in Romania, reach age 100, own an old haunted house, bite three people and impale three people. You can still play it for fun, but it gives no powers. Vampire-themed homes, such as castles and estates, can also appear in real estate listings, usually costing millions.
Tips for New Vampires
- Feed regularly so your powers don't wither.
- Use your Familiar to bring you specific targets.
- Sleep in your coffin when notoriety is high.
- Use blood banks when hunts keep failing.
- Plan long goals, such as becoming a billionaire, since you have time.
