Players with a PS5 will be able to play Valheim in 2026. And since its release, the game has welcomed many new features that improve gameplay while presenting numerous challenges.

Valheim is a survival game developed by the Swedish studio Iron Gate and released four years ago. And today, only Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC gamers can play it. But there is good news for PS5 players, as they will soon be able to enjoy it.

Thus, it's via a new trailer unveiled on YouTube that this information has been revealed. And that's not all, as this announcement also means that Valheim will be released in version 1.0 on the PS5 in 2026.

But while this announcement may delight thousands of gamers around the world who have been waiting for this addictive RPG, we should not be too impatient. No release date has yet been revealed, and we'll have to wait for further information from the Swedish studio.

A host of new features

As for the content of this game, it includes a number of new features. Improvements to construction techniques have been added, as well as a new farming system. Not to mention a new biome incorporating magic, and new armor, weapons and creatures that have made their appearance in Valheim.

In addition, the game seems to have a bright future ahead of it, with an average of 20,000 or 30,000 people logging in every day, according to SteamDB, and it is possible to imagine that its release on the PS5 will also be a success. Of course, there may be a few surprises, particularly with the release of GTA 6, which will take place in the same year and could slow the launch of Valheim on PS5.
