| 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.
| | Today marks the five year anniversary since Valheim was first released into Early Access – and what an incredible five years it’s been! |
|
| |
|
| [list][*][b]ACCESS[/b]: Right-click Valheim in your Steam library, then select ‘Properties’. In the new window, select ‘Betas’ and type in the code “[spoiler]yesimadebackups[/spoiler]”. The Public Test branch should now be available for you to select. The PTB FAQ can be found [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/0/3589961352692129408/]here[/url].
| | 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. |

| Dear vikings, prepare for a feast!
| | As you all know, we’re working on Deep North, which will be the final biome update that brings the game into 1.0. While we can’t give an update on that today, we can share that 2026 is going to be a great year for Valheim. |
|
| |
|
| We're happy to release our latest update to you – The Bog Witch! It features a brand new trader to be found in the Swamps, who sells a bunch of different ingredients and materials for you, useful for both brewing new potions and exploring the new feast mechanic. The update also features new skills and tools for homesteading!
| | Once again, thank you so much for being with us for five whole years! |
|
| |
|
| You will find the patch notes below, both abbreviated and complete (which means full of spoilers), but first we also want to share with you the full trailer for the update. Skål!
