Valheim launches its full 1.0 version on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 9 for $29.99, featuring the new Deep North biome, crossplay support, and ten-player co-op.
Nintendo Switch 2 owners are getting a major win for cooperative play when Valheim officially launches on the platform on September 9. Developed by Iron Gate AB and published by Coffee Stain Studios, the acclaimed survival game is making its console debut alongside its 1.0 update, skipping early access entirely for Nintendo players. The release brings the complete Norse-inspired sandbox experience to the hybrid hardware at a retail price of $29.99.
Coming in at version 1.0, the Switch 2 release includes major additions like the Deep North biome, bug fixes, and new traversal tools like the grappling hook, alongside the core loop of base building, boss hunting, and open world exploration for up to ten players. Best of all, full crossplay support is confirmed at launch. This means Switch 2 players can seamlessly join sessions with friends on PC and other platforms, keeping friend groups connected regardless of their hardware choice.
As reported by Game Rant, Valheim joins a remarkably busy September lineup for the Switch 2, which also features titles like RuneScape Dragonwilds and Aliens Fireteam Elite 2. With years of critical acclaim already backing its early access run, Iron Gate has also confirmed that post-launch updates will continue to support the game, giving the platform's community plenty of long-term survival content to dig into.
