SKÖVDE, Sweden – September 16th, 2025 - Coffee Stain Publishing and Iron Gate are excited to announce that their hit indie Viking survival game Valheim, currently in Early Access, will be coming to PlayStation in 2026. PlayStation players worldwide will be able to step into the Viking world and become part of Valheim’s thriving community. The announcement comes shortly after the game’s most recent update Call To Arms, marking another milestone in the lead-up to Valheim’s 1.0 release.

Valheim is a survival and exploration game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by Viking culture. Developed by Sweden-based indie studio Iron Gate and published by Coffee Stain Publishing, the team behind other hit titles such as Satisfactory and Deep Rock Galactic, the game challenges players to battle, build and carve out their legacy in the tenth realm. Since its meteoric Early Access debut in 2021, Valheim has earned widespread acclaim, boasting a 94% “Very Positive” rating on Steam with more than 477,000 positive reviews and over 12 million copies sold.

Valheim has continued to expand throughout its Early Access with a series of updates, including but not limited to:

  • Hearth & Home enhanced core survival and base-building mechanics, enabling players to create the longhouse of their dreams.
  • Mistlands introduced a mysterious, fog-shrouded biome filled with dangerous creatures and a magic system to master, while the fiery
  • Ashlands update challenged players to navigate treacherous cliffs and boiling waters teeming with slithering threats.
  • Call To Arms, unveiled during IGN’s gamescom showcase, delivered a major combat system update, along with new enemies, weapons, armor sets, and crafting materials

“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. “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.”

Valheim is currently available on PC, Linux, Mac, Xbox Series XIS and Xbox GamePass, through Steam Early Access, Microsoft Store, Game Pass and the Mac App Store. You can find the official Valheim press kit here, and you can follow Valheim on Twitter and Discord for more information and updates.
