Coffee Stain Publishing and developer Iron Gate have announced a PlayStation release for Valheim, their low-poly viking survival and crafting game.
Valheim is coming to PlayStation 5 sometime in 2026. The game has been available in early access for Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store) since 2021, and got an Xbox release later in 2023.
“We’re thrilled for Valheim to soon reach even more players with the upcoming launch on PlayStation”, said Henrik Törnqvist, co-founder of Iron Gate in a press release. “Bringing both new and longtime players to a new platform allows even more people to explore the world we’ve worked so hard to build, and we can’t wait to hear their stories as they’re able to dive into their Viking adventures.”
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
