Build epic longhouses, sail across unexplored seas, craft your favorite weapon, and more in Valheim with PC Game Pass.


Highly regarded by players, Valheim (Game Preview), the survival Viking game by Coffee Stain Studios and Iron Gate Studio, has sold more than 10 million copies since its initial release on PC in February 2021. Now, in case you missed it, Valheim has been available with PC Game Pass for the past two weeks, offering full cross play multiplayer for players wanting to have an adventure with their friends as they slay mythical beasts and build monuments in the glory of Odin.

If you’ve yet to set foot in the world of Valheim, we’ve collected seven reasons why we think you should come join us in this beautiful game and become one of the bravest residents in Midgard.


Lots of places to explore

Do not let any sight go unseen. With a grand map, Valheim brings numerous possibilities to explore and lots of places to get to know. Valheim has a system of new maps generated every game. Start a completely new terrain, with new gameplay experience with different biomes and locations.

The game’s dynamic

You must be careful because while working together, you can hurt your friend in-game. For example, chopping down a tree may cause some damage to a nearby friend by falling on them. This brings a unique feeling of reality to the game, like you’re really living your own Viking life.

Build your own Viking longhouse

Build, rebuild, and model your longhouse. Bring concepts from this culture to life with your own taste by harvesting wood, which is essential for building your house. You can also use wood to build and repair floors, walls, and ceilings as well as building a small house for yourself or a large one to house all your friends.

Find a favorite weapon

Do you prefer to use a bow, an axe, or a shield? You can choose for yourself! Explore the many options to create extra space to hold more items in your inventory and more!

Viking theme

The Nordic mythology has a grand history, and in Valheim it’s possible to explore different views of this civilization and its many references to their people.

Sailing

Nothing else can bring a sense of liberty more than crafting your own boat and being able to explore unfamiliar places. In Valheim, you can go on expeditions and conquer whatever you want!

Playing with friends

There’s nothing better than being able to build a Viking village with your friends, defeat monsters, and live out your life in a new culture.


You can check out Valheim (Game Preview) today with PC Game Pass and can look forward to its arrival on Xbox Series X|S with Xbox Game Pass in 2023 for even more fans to experience and enjoy.

Valheim is a collaborative exploration and survival game for 1-10 players set in a procedurally generated world inspired by Norse mythology. Craft powerful weapons, construct elaborate halls, and slay mighty foes to prove yourself to Odin! EXPLORE THE TENTH WORLD Discover an immersive procedurally generated world, with different biomes that each have their distinct environments, unique resources and dangerous enemies. Become a Viking and sail the open seas in search of lands unknown, alone or with up to nine friends! FIGHT THE FORSAKEN The Tenth World has been corrupted by hateful forces, in the shape of mighty regional bosses known as the Forsaken. Hone your skills with axes, blades and bows, and prepare yourself by crafting the very best equipment – for it is only by defeating these Forsaken that you will advance in your progress and prove yourself to the Allfather. BUILD MIGHTY HALLS Raise Viking longhouses and build bases that offer reprieve from the dangers ahead. Whether you build a small shelter, an entire village or a mountain-side fortress, defence and structural integrity are important, as is decorating it for maximum comfort! GATHER, CRAFT AND SURVIVE As you discover new materials, you will learn new recipes for crafting, building and cooking – all that a Viking might need! The food system is rewarding rather than punishing, granting you boons and benefits depending on what you eat, and is directly tied to the combat system, where your health and stamina might be just the thing that makes a difference between life and death.
