“We strive to make all versions of Valheim as similar as possible to each other, and there should be no noticeable differences in the gameplay,” he explains. That won’t be the case here as Törnqvist shares with us about its journey to this new platform. When a game, especially one as dynamic as Valheim, migrates from PC to console, one may normally expect variations and differences. Today, Valheim (Game Preview) comes to console for the first time with Xbox Game Pass, and we had the chance to speak to Iron Gate Studio Co-Founder Henrik Törnqvist about bringing their surprise mega-hit to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, and why now may be the perfect time to sharpen that axe and journey to Valheim. Since hitting Windows PC with PC Game Pass a few months ago, its community has only been growing. You may have already heard about Valheim, the Viking survival game that for the last few years has been sending PC gamers into a land of brutal combat, exotic exploration, and resource-scarce crafting adventures.

Valheim (Game Preview) is now available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC with Game Pass.

We checked in with Iron Gate Studios about adapting Valheim (Game Preview) to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, and how they designed it to be 1:1 to the Windows PC version.

This brutal exploration and survival game, available today for the first time on console, is inspired by Norse mythology where you can craft powerful weapons, construct longhouses, and slay mighty foes.
