Incredible: 5 million Valheimers, one for each developer

Date:

Symbol of four slain bosses

Five million players at the end of the game are already in Valheim. One per developer or boss. How many of them have you already defeated?

Again, it was probably only a matter of time before the Iron Gate team, the developers behind Valheim, announced the next milestone of five million early access accounts sold. It was made today, Wednesday, March 3, 2021. As those responsible write in a current report, this almost unimaginable mark has actually been exceeded.

The 10th Nordic world, in which Valheim Setting is located, has been explored and traveled for more than 15,000 years, according to the happy announcement. Hundreds of thousands blow off steam every day by building the base, exploring and, of course, fighting. Also, there are many Vikings who do not experience their adventures on their own, but share their Valheim story with other viewers via live streaming. Over 35 million (!) Hours of Valheim gameplay have already been created and viewed on Twitch.tv.

Positive reviews on Steam also persist. After the four million mark in sales on February 24, 2021, there were just over 86,000 extremely positive reviews from players on average, this number has now risen again by 40,000 to a total of 120,500 in one week.

One million per employee

With the new milestone, Iron Gate has achieved something that very few games in the world have reserved and achieved: Valheim has sold a million copies for each developer on the team, and that, we emphasize again, a month after the start. in early access.

Correctly understood. Only five people work in Valheim. For that reason alone, no one could have expected this revolutionary success in advance. Viking survival is also relentlessly climbing the list of the highest-rated games of all time on Steam. At the time of three million sales (Feb. 19) it was still in the 78th rank, up from the 57th rank to the four million mark to 39th today.

What you think? Will Valheim even make it into the top 10 games on Steam?

Gratitude can hardly be expressed in words

Meanwhile, the developers at Iron Gate have found it really difficult to express their gratitude for all the support, positive reviews, and feedback. In the current report this Wednesday, they write that all team members are very excited to come (virtually) to work every day.

Watch your game unfold with pride and excitement as you struggle to find the right words to express your gratitude to the community. Exciting new milestones are already on the way and you can’t wait to show Valheim players and enthusiasts more of the game as you walk through the roadmap for 2021 that has already been unveiled.
