Valheim Confirmed for PS5 Release in 2026, Bringing Viking Epic to PlayStation

Coffee Stain Publishing and developer Iron Gate Studio announced that Valheim will launch on PlayStation 5 in 2026.

Valheim first launched in Early Access for PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on February 2, 2021, followed by releases on Xbox Series and Xbox One on March 14, 2023.

“We’re thrilled that Valheim will soon reach even more players with its PlayStation release,” said Henrik Tornqvist, co-founder of Iron Gate Studio, in a press release. “Bringing both new and veteran players to a new platform allows more people to explore the world we’ve worked so hard to build, and we can’t wait to hear their stories as they dive into their Viking adventures.”

See the title’s description below:

A battle-slain warrior, the Valkyries have ferried your soul to Valheim, the tenth Norse world. Surrounded by creatures of chaos and ancient enemies of the gods, you are the newest custodian of the primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin’s ancient rivals and bringing order to Valheim.

Your trials begin in the peaceful, weaponless heart of Valheim, but the gods reward the brave, and glory awaits. Venture through towering forests and snow-capped mountains, explore and harvest valuable materials to craft deadlier weapons, sturdier armor, Viking strongholds, and outposts. Build mighty longships to sail across vast oceans in search of exotic lands… but be wary of sailing too far…

Features:

• • • Massive procedurally generated world – explore and inhabit mystical lands from mysterious forests to towering snow-capped mountain ranges and breathtaking meadows, all teeming with legendary creatures to battle and wildlife to hunt.
    • Co-op PvE (2-10 players) – Whether braving the lands solo or with trusted allies, Valheim supports standalone player-hosted servers and offers unlimited world creation. We recommend 3-5 players for cooperative play.
    • Punishing combat system with dodge and block mechanics using a wide arsenal of weapons
    • Build and sail ships – from flimsy rafts to imposing warships, craft legendary vessels to conquer the seas and discover new lands.
    • Summon and defeat vengeful primordial bosses of myth and legend, then collect trophies to progress and craft powerful new items.
    • Flexible base-building system – construct mead halls, farms, settlements, outposts, castles, and more.
    • Intuitive crafting – forge top-tier weapons and armor, plus craft food and mead.
    • Dedicated servers – for players wanting to run a persistent server.
