Valheim reaches highest player count in five months after Hearth and Home
The first major update for Valheim is finally here and – surprise! – people play it. The Viking survival game certainly isn’t hitting the heights it hit at launch, but it’s back in Steam’s top ten and hit its highest player count since May. I guess you can think of our expectations as sufficiently managed.
Today, Valheim has reached a maximum concurrent player count of 66,264, as SteamDB shows. That’s the highest number since early May, when the game was still descending from the half-million players it had reached after launch. It’s currently game number ten on Steam, sandwiched between Grand Theft Auto V and Cookie Clicker. What a grouping.
Players are still figuring out what they think of the changes, especially the complete food overhaul, which now requires you to choose between foods that are beneficial for health or stamina. You can check out the Hearth and Home patch notes if you want more details on what’s changed or, hey, just go play the game and check it out.
The game is currently 20% off on Steam, bringing the price down to $ 15.99 / £ 12.39 / € 13.43, so if you’ve been trying to convince your friends to buy a copy, it’s now your chance.
