Today marks the five year anniversary since Valheim was first released into Early Access – and what an incredible five years it’s been!


Prior to launching this update to the Default version of the game, we want to have a chance to discover bugs and fine-tune the balancing to ensure the best game experience.
We want to thank everyone who has been a part of our journey and our community since then, whether you started playing on day one or have just been carried by the valkyrie for the first time. We greatly appreciate every single one of you, and we’re so glad to have you walk this path with us.


For this anniversary you will find a patch live right now for everyone, with some new celebratory items and emotes, along with some quality of life fixes!
