Valheim Servers Are Now Available on DediGames Box, Just in Time for Version 1.0

Valheim servers are now available on VeryGames DediGames Box. Vikings can now create a persistent multiplayer world through the VeryGames platform, just a few weeks before Valheim reaches one of the biggest milestones in its history.

The timing could hardly be better. After more than five years in Early Access, Valheim 1.0 launches on September 9, 2026, bringing the long-awaited Deep North biome and full crossplay between all supported platforms.

Whether you are preparing a completely new adventure or planning to return to an existing world, your next Viking expedition can now be hosted on DediGames Box.

Valheim joins DediGames Box

Valheim is a cooperative survival and exploration game set in a procedurally generated world inspired by Norse mythology. Players explore increasingly dangerous regions, build settlements, craft equipment and challenge powerful bosses as they progress through the world.

The game can be played solo, but multiplayer has always been an important part of the Valheim experience.

From now on, Valheim can be deployed on a VeryGames DediGames Box, giving groups and communities a dedicated environment for their world.

Why use a dedicated server for Valheim?

In a locally hosted multiplayer game, the world is normally only accessible while the player hosting the session is online.

A dedicated server changes that.

The Valheim world can remain online independently of any player's gaming PC. Members of the group can connect when they want, continue building the settlement, gather resources or prepare for the next expedition without waiting for the original host to launch the game.

For a world designed to evolve over dozens or even hundreds of hours, that persistent availability can make a major difference.

DediGames Box is more than a single Valheim server

There is another major difference between DediGames Box and traditional game server rental.

You are not simply renting a fixed number of Valheim player slots.

DediGames Box provides computing resources that can be used to deploy compatible game servers through the VeryGames control panel.

Depending on the resources available on your Box, you can run several servers at the same time and host different compatible games from the same environment.

The VeryGames platform also includes features such as automatic updates, automatic backups, FTP access, scheduled tasks and real-time server management.

For communities that regularly switch between survival games or manage several multiplayer worlds, this makes it possible to centralise much more of their server infrastructure.

Valheim 1.0 and Deep North launch on September 9

The arrival of Valheim on DediGames Box comes shortly before an historic moment for Iron Gate's survival game.

Valheim 1.0 will officially launch on September 9, 2026.

The release will introduce the Deep North, the final major biome needed to complete the progression originally planned for Valheim.

Iron Gate has already confirmed that players will encounter new enemies, discover new equipment and weapons and gain new possibilities for building as they explore the frozen northern regions of the world.

Version 1.0 will mark the end of an Early Access journey that began in February 2021.

Full crossplay is coming with Valheim 1.0

Version 1.0 will also significantly expand the number of platforms on which Valheim can be played.

Iron Gate has confirmed the September 9 release for PC, Linux, macOS, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, alongside new versions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.

More importantly for multiplayer communities, full crossplay will be supported between all platforms.

That means a group will no longer necessarily need to use the same type of machine to explore the same Valheim world together.

For persistent communities and groups of friends, the combination of dedicated hosting and wider cross-platform support should make organising a Viking clan considerably easier when version 1.0 launches.

The perfect time to prepare your next Valheim world

If you have been waiting for version 1.0 before returning to Valheim, the next few weeks are a good opportunity to prepare your multiplayer environment.

You can gather your group, decide whether to continue an existing adventure or begin a completely new world, and get your server ready before Deep North arrives.

With Valheim now available on DediGames Box, the server side of that adventure can already be prepared through VeryGames.

Then, on September 9, there will only be one thing left to do.

Gather your Vikings and head north.
