Your friends on PS5, Switch 2 or Xbox
On 9 September 2026 Valheim hits 1.0 with the Deep North biome and the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions, in full crossplay with PC and Xbox.
No console can host a dedicated server: for your world to exist outside one particular player's online hours, it has to run somewhere else. That's exactly what we do — and crossplay is on from the start on Valheim servers, with no setting to hunt for.
A console has no address field: your friends get in with a six-digit join code, shown in your TickServ console, repeated by the invite link and by the Discord bot's /status command. That code changes every time the server starts, so it pays to know where to find it.
Frequently asked questions
How many players at once?
Valheim comfortably handles a group of friends; the dedicated server holds up under the load of a co-op game.
Do I need a password?
Yes, Valheim requires a server password: it's generated automatically and shown in your console.
Can I resume my game later?
Yes: the world is saved on shutdown and restored on the next start.

How much RAM for your game server?
The tiers per game, but above all how to tell whether your lag really comes from RAM: why adding more can make it worse, and when the CPU is what you should target.
