Coffee Stain Publishing and Iron Gate are excited to announce that their multiplayer survival hit Valheim will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 devices this year. The news follows in the wake of the announcement that Valheim will be coming to PlayStation 5 consoles this year, as Iron Gate’s indie phenomenon approaches its full 1.0 release on PC.
Announced during the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase earlier today, Valheim’s teeth-clenching survival action will soon be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 devices, supporting full cross play between platforms, touch screen support for menus, advanced vibrations via the HD Rumble 2 and gyroscope aiming.
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 524,000 positive reviews and over 12 million copies sold.
Since its Early Access release, Valheim has seen three major and multiple minor content updates expanding the tenth realm with new biomes, weapons, armor, building items and more. On release, the game will offer eight fully fleshed out biomes including the mystical planes of Mistlands, the harsh lavascapes of Ashlands and the enigmatic Deep North.
Valheim is currently available on PC, Linux, Mac, Xbox Series XIS and Xbox GamePass and announced for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. You can find the official Valheim press kit here, and you can follow Valheim on Twitter and Discord for more information and updates.
