What is Valheim?
Valheim is a Viking-inspired survival and exploration game built around co-op progression, sailing, boss fights, crafting and large player-built settlements. Its dedicated-server model is a natural fit for friend groups that want one shared world available whether or not the original host is online.
A dedicated Valheim server keeps the same world available to the group, separates the save from a player PC and makes backup and migration workflows much easier to manage.
