Valheim PlayStation Release Officially Confirmed, Mark Your Calendars
Summary
Coffee Stain and Iron Gate have confirmed that the open-world survival hit Valheim will arrive on PlayStation sometime in 2026. No exact release date has been given, and it remains unclear whether the release will include both PS5 and PS4.
Valheim launched into Steam Early Access in 2021 and later reached Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One in 2023. Iron Gate previously suggested a full 1.0 release might land in 2025, but that now looks to have slipped to 2026 — likely coinciding with, or following, the PlayStation launch. The full release is expected to add new biomes, enemies, bosses, materials, expanded crafting, new weapons and build pieces, and more unique locations and events.
