Valheim has taken PC gaming by a storm and is the new big thing in the survival genre. Players can explore a vast land, hunt, craft, and face threats solo, or in co-op. The game uses a Norse setting, and players familiar with the mythology will see familiar faces and monsters. The developers have laid out the roadmap for 2021, and it’s nice to see a steady stream of updates coming out since the game has been available. The title is currently only available on PC, through Steam, and here is the Valheim Save Game location.
The game has launched as an early access title and will be in that state for at least a year. Valheim already sold 1 million copies, and that number doesn’t seem to be stopping. The game peaked at 336k concurrent players on Steam, which is an incredible number, especially for an early access game.
