Choose the platform and account before checkout
- Step 1: Open the official Steam or Xbox store page for the device you will use, sign in to the account that will own the game, and check the displayed platform and region.
- Step 2: On the product page, read the product name and edition line; do not continue when the page is for a key, bundle, soundtrack, or another product.
- Step 3: Before clicking the final purchase button, confirm the account, platform, region, edition, price, and refund/support route, then save the receipt.
Valheim is currently available on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Xbox. On PC it can be purchased through Steam, the Humble store, or the Microsoft Store; the Mac version is also available through the Mac App Store. PlayStation is not listed in the official FAQ. Steam, Microsoft Store/Xbox, and Mac purchases are separate storefront ownership paths, so buy it on the account and device family that will actually run it.
PC and Xbox players can use Valheim’s crossplay support when the server enables Crossplay and everyone joins through the compatible Join Code route. Crossplay support does not turn one store purchase into ownership on every platform, and it does not make client-required Mods compatible with Xbox.
- A Steam purchase, an Xbox listing, and a key reseller can use similar wording while providing different ownership and refund paths.
- If you are buying for another player, check which account will actually launch the game before comparing price or availability.
- Stop at the product page when one of these fields is missing; a cheap listing is not a usable recommendation until ownership is clear.
Choose a different option when the situation changes
- Stop before payment if the platform or region is unclear.
- Use the official FAQ to resolve availability questions.
- Keep the receipt and store support route with the purchase record.
