Valheim

Valheim, the hit indie Viking survival game from developer Iron Gate AB and Coffee Stain Publishing, is finally coming to PlayStation 5 in 2026. It’s currently unclear, though, if this version of the game will be 1.0 or Early Access.

Valheim launched into Early Access on PC back in 2021, quickly climbing up the Steam charts to become one of the most popular survival games of the year. That excitement continued well into 2022, with the audience growing in 2023 when Valheim launched into Game Preview on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, featuring cross-play as well. Now, Valheim is finally coming to PS5, and you can check out a new trailer celebrating the news below.

Since Valheim’s Early Access debut in 2021, it has garnered a 94 percent “Very Positive” rating on Steam, based on over 477,000 reviews and 12 million copies sold. Since that launch, Iron Gate AB has released various updates, including the following:

Hearth and Home: enhanced survival and base-building mechanics
Mistlands: introduced a new fog-shrouded biome filled with dangerous creatures and magic to master
Ashlands: introduced treacherous cliffs, boiling waters, and new threats
Call To Arms: the latest update, which updated combat and added new enemies, weapons, armor sets, and crafting materials

Valheim launches on PS5 in 2026. It is currently available on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One (including Xbox Game Pass), PC via Steam Early Access, the Microsoft Store, PC Game Pass, and the Mac App Store.

The set is nearly complete: Valheim is coming to PlayStation next year. Remember, the procedurally generated, multiplayer viking survival game is already available on PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox Series S/X (and Game Pass).

Iron Gate didn’t announce a specific PlayStation console, by the way, which may mean PlayStation 4 is included, but I’ll check this and let you know. And yes, the PlayStation version of the game will have full cross-play with other versions of Valheim.

Development partner Piktiv, which helped implement cross-play when the Xbox version of the game released, and which also helped bring the game to PC Game Pass, will be handling the PlayStation port.

A specific date in 2026 wasn’t shared, possibly because the PlayStation release will coincide with the long-awaited 1.0 release of the game, which is expected sometime in 2026 as well. Valheim, if you don’t know, has been in Early Access since 2021.

But much has been added to the game in that time. Valheim was a phenomenal success when it launched, commanding half-a-million concurrent players at its peak on Steam, and such success expands plans. Part of the reason Piktiv is handling the PlayStation port is so that Iron Gate can focus on finishing the seventh and final biome update for the game, Deep North.

Emma was our resident Valheim reporter when she was here, and she last properly looked at the game in 2023, and discovered a Valheim stuck in limbo. She also wrote a specially commissioned feature for Supporters of Eurogamer that year, which followed her on a ridiculous but inspired adventure to become a real-estate agent in Valheim. Oh, the lengths she went to.
