Over the weekend, Microsoft shared a list of 50 new titles heading to Game Pass over the next 12 months, and it’s now given a little more detail on one of those games – developer Iron Gate Studio’s acclaimed viking survival hit Valheim – confirming it’ll be launching for PC Game Pass this autumn with an Xbox release next spring.
Valheim, if you’re unfamiliar, launched into Steam early access last February, and its refined viking survival action – which sees players exploring a gorgeous open-world, slowly preparing themselves to battle powerful creatures and prove themselves worthy of entering Valhalla – immediately drew critical acclaim.
It was also a massive sales hit too, managing to sell a staggering 4m copies in only three weeks. One year on, it’s shifted over 10 million copies on PC, and development continues apace, with work on its highly anticipated Mistlands update said to be “well underway”.
