First, the game is officially coming to&nbsp;consoles for the first time. There has been talk of its eventuality since controller support was added to the PC version earlier this year, but it&#8217;s nice to finally have confirmation. When this port does land&nbsp;on Xbox sometime in the first half of 2023, full cross-play will be enabled to team up with any number of PC and console players. Although, no other consoles will be involved&nbsp;since&nbsp;Microsoft has locked down console exclusivity for Valheim, so don&#8217;t expect to see the game show up on PlayStation or Switch anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t wait until Valheim joins Game Pass on your Microsoft platform of choice, it&#8217;s available to purchase right now on Steam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2022\/06\/14\/valheim-coming-to-xbox-next-year-and-pc-game-pass-this-fall\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite not having a trailer at the main Xbox and Bethesda showcase this weekend, eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted a popular survival title alongside the 2023 Xbox releases in an image near the show&#8217;s end.
