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.
