Iron Gate announced during Microsoft’s extended Xbox Games Showcase that Valheim will join PC Game Pass at the end of 2022, before heading to Xbox consoles in early 2023.
The hugely successful survival sandbox game was released in early access last year and has since sold more than 10 million copies worldwide — becoming one of the most-played titles on Steam.
Iron Gate has therefore enlisted developers Piktiv and Fishlabs to work on the Microsoft Store and Xbox ports.
The Steam, Microsoft Store and Xbox versions of Valheim will all come with full crossplay.
“We’re beyond delighted to see the world of Valheim and our amazing community open up to even more people and let our PC vikings team up with their console shield brothers and sisters in the near future,” said Iron Gate founder Henrik Törnqvist.
“None of this would be possible without the incredible teams at Piktiv and Fishlabs who are continuing to work tirelessly on the Microsoft Store and Xbox ports, enabling us to focus on the Mistlands update and our exciting journey through Early Access,” he added.
