Valheim PS5 Version Approaches 2026 Launch with Cross-Play and Deep North Update Progress
When Valheim launched on Steam in 2021, a PlayStation 5 (PS5) version was anticipated in 2026. The survival game quickly gained traction during its early access phase, peaking at over half a million concurrent players on Steam in February 2021. It achieved significant success, selling 5 million copies within its first month. The game then launched on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on March 14, 2023. By September 2023, publisher Coffee Stain announced total sales exceeding 12 million copies. A Mac version followed in June 2024. Throughout these developments, developer Iron Gate maintained community engagement with regular updates and progress reports, despite some community concerns regarding the pace of game development. The PS5 launch, scheduled for 2026, could suggest that this year is also the target for Valheim to exit early access, although Iron Gate has not confirmed this timeline. Currently, Iron Gate has committed to implementing cross-play across all platforms. Piktiv is managing the development of the PlayStation versions and is also responsible for the game’s networking infrastructure. This allows Iron Gate to concentrate its efforts on the upcoming Deep North update, a region widely anticipated to coincide with Valheim’s full 1.0 release.
