Coming September 9, 2026★
Valheim 1.0 is here: The Deep North.
After five years in Early Access, Valheim officially launches 1.0 on September 9, 2026, headlined by the Deep North — the game's final biome. It's a frozen expanse at the world's northern edge, packed with new enemies, structures, and resources to uncover, with environmental hazards like slippery ice and deep snow that has to be cleared before you can build.
The update also brings full crossplay across every platform — PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 join PC, Xbox, and Mac — and gives Valheim an official ending for the first time since it entered Early Access.
Final Biome
The Deep North caps off Valheim's content arc — icy terrain, deep snow, new enemies like the Gammeltroll, and a new grappling hook to help you navigate it.
Full Crossplay
PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 join PC, Xbox, and Mac, with crossplay supported across every platform.
An Official Ending
For the first time, Valheim has a true conclusion to reach — not just an ever-expanding Early Access world.
Your World Keeps Working
Existing servers update automatically — no wipe required, though a fresh world is recommended to fully explore the new region.
Your ChicagoServers Valheim server updates right alongside the official release — nothing manual to configure on your end for launch day.

About The Game★
What is Valheim?
Valheim is Iron Gate Studio's Viking-themed survival game, where players sail, build longhouses, and battle through a series of increasingly dangerous biomes ruled by mythic bosses — solo or in a shared world with friends.
ChicagoServers' Valheim hosting includes one-click BepInEx installation for the game's most popular mods, full crossplay support, and a world-import service if you're moving an existing save from a home PC or another host.
Valheim's biome-by-biome progression — gated behind boss fights from Eikthyr to Yagluth — has made it one of the most replayed survival games in recent memory, with a modding scene built around BepInEx and Thunderstore that adds everything from quality-of-life tweaks to entire new biomes.
