What is Valheim?
Your adventure begins as a battle-slain warrior sent to the tenth Norse realm in this new Viking-themed survival game. Prove your worth and slay Odin’s ancient rivals, securing yourself a place in Valhalla. Explore, harvest, craft, build, scavenge, hunt, fight, and discover this massive, procedurally-generated world with friends in your very own Valheim multiplayer server.
Robust Building System
The sky's the limit with Valheim’s flexible and robust base-building system. Build harbours, mead halls, trophy rooms, cookhouses, castles, and more!

How to join a dedicated server in Valheim?
You can join a co-op server in Valheim with the steps below:
- In Valheim, select the "Join Game" tab.
- Select "Join IP" at the bottom of the window, then enter your Server IP.
- Enter the server password, then click connect.
Alternatively, you can add it to your Favorites list in Steam and connect to Valheim servers directly from there. At the top of your Steam window, click 'View', and then 'Servers' - on the 'Favorites' tab, click 'Add a Server' in the bottom right corner.
Why host a dedicated server for Valheim?
Setting up a Valheim dedicated server is recommended if you want to get the most powerful connection and the fastest ping when playing with friends.
A major benefit of a dedicated server over a local server is that it is online 24 hours a day. It will run for as long as you want it to, without the need for the host to be online and playing Valheim.
Hosting a server is resource-intensive and requires an extremely fast internet connection. Hosting your Valheim server in a dedicated data centre ensures the best connection for all players.
Shockbyte makes running a Valheim server much easier, with a 24/7 support team and tutorials covering virtually every topic in our knowledgebase and YouTube channel.
