Valheim Hits 1.0 With the Deep North and Its First PS5 and Switch 2 Release

Iron Gate's Viking survival game Valheim left early access on September 9, more than five years after its 2021 debut. The 1.0 launch adds the Deep North, a frozen endgame biome with new enemies, weapons, and build pieces. It is also Valheim's first day on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, joining PC and Xbox, with full crossplay between every platform.

Discussion Topics

  1. Five and a half years in early access: patient craftsmanship, or far too long?
  2. Does full crossplay make Valheim the co-op survival game to beat this winter?
  3. Is the Deep North a real endgame, or a victory-lap biome?
  4. Switch 2 Valheim: does the hardware hold up, or is PC still the only way to play?
