Valheim is Iron Gate's Viking purgatory survival game, released in Early Access in 2021 and now one of the most played survival titles on Steam. Up to 10 players share a procedurally generated world and progress through seven biomes — Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, Mountain, Plains, Mistlands, and Ashlands — unlocking new bosses, building materials, and crafting stations at each tier.
Running a dedicated Valheim server keeps your world persistent: boss trophies stay mounted, your longhouse stays standing, and your farm keeps growing whether or not any player is online. Our Valheim template ships with the official dedicated-server binary, pre-opened UDP ports, world save rotation, and optional BepInEx preinstalled for Valheim+, EpicLoot, Jotunn, and other popular mods — selectable as a one-click variant in the panel.
Valheim's server is moderately CPU-heavy — terrain modification, seed generation, and combat all tick server-side. A vanilla 10-player server runs comfortably in 4 GB RAM; modded installs with Valheim+ and a few dozen smaller mods want 6–8 GB. World saves grow as players build — late-game servers with extensive base construction can exceed 500 MB, which is where our NVMe storage matters (the difference between NVMe and SATA is visible during world loads).
“Setup was instant. I was uploading my world within two minutes of checkout.”
“Latency from the EU node is under 30ms for my whole squad. Zero rubber-banding even on intense sessions.”
“Support actually knows the games. Had a config issue resolved in 20 minutes at 2am.”
“Backups saved a 200-hour save after a mod broke it. One-click restore, worth the plan by itself.”
“Panel is miles better than what I was on before. I don't even miss SFTP.”
“Switching between games without paying again is the feature I didn't know I needed.”
Officially 10, which is our supported max. The game technically lets you go higher with mods, but performance drops significantly past 10 — we don't recommend it for stable gameplay.
Yes. Select the Valheim BepInEx template at checkout (or switch from vanilla to BepInEx later) and we ship with the framework preinstalled. Valheim+, EpicLoot, Jotunn, and most major mods drop straight into the plugins folder.
Yes. The PC (Steam) version supports crossplay with Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation via Iron Gate's crossplay feature, enabled at the world level. Our dedicated servers have crossplay enabled by default; you can toggle it per-world from the panel.
Vanilla mid-game worlds are 100–300 MB. Heavily built late-game worlds with full Mistlands progression can exceed 500 MB. Backups are incremental, so the 7-day retention doesn't balloon your storage footprint.
Nothing. The server persists world state between sessions; nothing decays. Your portals, farms, and base are there when you come back. Our daily backups cover the 'bad mod corrupted my save' case.
Yes — we auto-update the server binary within hours of each Iron Gate release. If you want to pin a version (e.g. freeze at a pre-Ashlands patch for mod compatibility), the panel exposes the Steam build tag as a dropdown.
