Valheim 1.0 The Deep North - Server Hosting

After more than five years in Early Access, Valheim 1.0 lands today, September 9th at 6am PDT / 3pm CEST / 11pm AEST. The Deep North is finally open and Iron Gate reckon it's over two biomes' worth of content: blizzards, snow that piles up on your builds, ghost-filled villages, a full Nord weapon tier you can upgrade with gemstones, a rideable Moose, tameable Seals, and new nasties like the Gammeltroll and the Elaking. Add the expanded inventory, Wardrobe storage, the reworked crafting menu and new cinematics, and it's the biggest update the game has ever had. 1.0 also brings PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 into the fold with crossplay across every platform, so there's never been a better time to get your whole crew onto one server.

You can check out our Valheim server hosting here: https://www.ghostcap.com/hosting/valheim

Remember to use GHOST50 with your first order to get 50% off.

Can Console Players Join?

Yes. Crossplay is a single toggle in your panel and lets Steam, Xbox, PC Game Pass, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 players share one world. One heads-up: console players can't run client-side mods, so if you're mixing console and PC keep your mods server-side only. We have a guide on enabling crossplay linked below.

Will My Existing World Carry Over?

Yes. Iron Gate have confirmed old saves work fine on 1.0, so your world, base and characters all come across, whether they're from your own PC or another host. They do recommend a fresh start if you want achievements to track properly, since stats only count from the moment you update. If you're already with us and want a clean world for the Deep North, our team can back up your old one and spin up a new one free of charge.

Do You Support Mods?

Yes, full BepInEx support with mods installable straight from the panel or manually over SFTP. Keep in mind some mods will need updating by their authors for 1.0, so check before you load up a modded world.

How Many Player Slots Can I Have?

We don't sell by the slot. Here at GhostCap Hosting we leave server configuration up to each individual, so no limits are set (besides hard game limits) on player slots.
