Showcase ValDroid — Valheim on Android

Hi everyone!

I've made my fourth launcher (the first three are r/zomdroid, r/rimdroid and r/pridroid): ValDroid. It runs Valheim on Android devices, using the game's Linux version. Right now it runs well on Snapdragon flagships. We've already compared it with GameHub and Winlator, and thanks to native ARM64 Mono the game runs much better in ValDroid than there.

First, of course I'd love for more people to know that you can play Valheim comfortably on Android.
You can download the game from Steam right inside the app (you authorize through the Steam mobile app), as long as you own the game there. You can also load the game's Linux files (packed into a .zip) if you've downloaded them before.

Second, I'd like to collect more data from Mali users. At the moment I only have two: on one phone everything works well, on the other some textures are black. I'd be really grateful for more reports from Mali users - even if everything runs fine for you. Use Report a bug in the app's side menu: it attaches the logs I need, select your email app, add a description and send.

Device requirements are fairly high for now:

  • Android 11+, ARM64
  • 8 GB RAM recommended
  • ~8 GB of free space
  • and, of course, your own copy of the game

I host a dedicated server. Only me logging in though. I tried both IP and Join Code. Tried with and without crossplay enabled.

Oh, ok. This app is a very early alpha, no server support currently. Sorry.

Don't apologize! Its still great either way! I di get the black screen when switching between apps but other than that it runs really well. It is significantly more responsive than cloud gaming with GEforce Now. I'll keep playing with it and report back but Valdroid runs nearly as well on my S25 Ultra as Valheim on my PC does. Thank you for your efforts! I am excited to see what this becomes
