On Tuesday evening, at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase Extended, Iron Gate AB announced that its massively popular open world survival crafting game Valheim would be coming to Xbox consoles in early spring 2023, as well as arriving on PC Game Pass later this year.

Now following that announcement, the developer has revealed that when Valheim does debut on consoles, it will launch with full crossplay support with the PC version (both the Microsoft Store and the Steam editions).

As PC Gamer reports, it is also said that the Xbox and PC Game Pass editions will be synced, meaning you should be able to switch from playing Valheim on console and then on PC without losing any progress.
