Valheim is an upcoming survival and sandbox video game by the Swedish developer Iron Gate Studio and published by Coffee Stain Studios. It was released in early access on 2 February 2021 for Linux and Windows via Steam, and is set to be released for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2023. The game was developed by a five-person team, building on development work which Richard Svensson had undertaken as a side project in his spare time. Since its early access release, Valheim has achieved both critical and commercial success, being praised as a ″rare exception″ of a refined early access game. A month after its release, it had sold over five million copies and was one of the most played games on Steam. Are you also looking for Valheim’s release date on Xbox Game Pass? The popular survival RPG is finally coming to console, as it was announced during the extended Xbox Bethesda Games Showcase in June 2022. Fans of the charming Viking sandbox game will have a chance to play the game on both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. Not only that, but Valheim will also be available for Game Pass subscribers on both PC and console. Read on to learn when is Valheim coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Game Pass.
Valheim PC Game Pass Release Date
As we've learned from official sources, much to the delight of Xbox owners and Viking aficionados, developer Iron Gate AB and publisher Coffee Stain Publishing have finally confirmed that Walhem is set to release on Xbox consoles. This was revealed during Microsoft’s extended “non-E3” show this year. Iron Gate AB provided a release window for both the game’s release on Game Pass for PC and later on the Xbox family of consoles.
The announcement also states that Valheim will become available for Game Pass on PC in Fall 2021. Astronomical Autumn is between September 22nd and December 21st. Thus, that’s when we can expect Valheim to launch on Game Pass for PC. As with all games available on this subscription service, this also means that Valheim will release on Microsoft Store.
Valheim Xbox Series X/S & Xbox One Release Date
If we talk about the console release, then we will have to wait a little longer for it. It's one thing to release a game on another PC store, but porting it to a console requires a lot of effort. Nonetheless, we will not need to wait too long for that one. The release date window provided for console release is “early spring 2023”. Thus, we expect the game to launch somewhere in late March or early April of 2023 on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One.
One important thing you should keep in mind is that game porting can often be a tricky task, with numerous unexpected issues. Thus, don’t be surprised if they push the console release to a later date. The good news is that the work on the port is completely outsourced. This means that there’s a dedicated and experienced studio working on it. On the other hand, it also means that Iron Gate AB still only working on finishing the main game and adding new content.
