Last week, Coffee Stain Publishing and Iron Gate revealed that their survival game, Valheim, had sold one million copies. And today, the teams announced that Valheim surpassed two million players in under two weeks.
As Iron Gate stated:
“In just 13 days Valheim has been purchased by over two million Vikings. Moreover, this weekend we reached a new peak concurrent player milestone of 360,000!
Forget longboats, we have now blown a 700+ year old record by boasting the largest Viking population in all of human history. For reference, the previous peak in Viking numbers was set in 1300 AD and was approximately 500,000.”
Valheim is a brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, featuring a huge procedurally-generated world. In this game, players can battle, build, and conquer their way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage. Additionally, it has a flexible house and base building system and dedicated servers.
Valheim is currently available in Steam Early Access. The game also has Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews on Steam.

I even bought it out of the word of mouth/hype. $20 is that sweet spot for trying new games
I dont get the appeal of these open world survival crafting games. Every time a new one shows up my friends play it, share the screen through discord and always ask ” hey wanna see the base we built?” But nothing ever happens, they dont need a base and this is just open world survival crafting game #9,285.
I mean it’s £15 and takes only 1gb of space. Should give it a try yourself.
I gave it a go with friends last night and I’ve been having hella fun with it so far.
Tree physics and smoke inhalation, both of which hardly many crafting survival games have, it’s great.
I played Subnautica, it was decent exploration but didn’t finish because of the back and forth with resources and food (and scary moments). I also played Darkwood and that one provides a nice balance between resource gathering , base defense and story progression, finished it twice. Tried Conan, got bored quickly, that about sums up my experience with the genre.
Ye indeed. What’s so special about this one? Nothing.
Another boring game set in some nowhere wilderness.
It’s really enjoyable and what I’m in the mood to play the most right now.
If only much more deserving Yakuza 3-4-5 sold like this…..
Can’t comment on this game, but Yakuza series sells well on PC despite not deserving it for the most part : being super late ports, using Denuvo, some missing features and the stupid phrase “real yakuza uses a gamepad” despite the game playing really fine on Kb+mouse.
Not even on PS yakuza sold like this… in fact it barely sold at all. Don’t get me wrong i love the Yakuza series but it’s a niche series.
Haven’t stopped playing since launch.
