Iron Gate's Viking survival sim soared to the top of the charts, achieving 5 million copies sold in just one month of Early Access and surpassing huge titles like Dota 2 in terms of active players at the same time. MINECRAFT SERVERS Steam reviews for Valheim are brimming with a feeling of awe and joy.

"It has been quite busy since the launch." Tornqvist, Richard Svensson, the studio founder, are looking to hire a few more individuals to assist with the influx of bug reports that are coming in from millions of beta testers. Other than that, it's receiving assistance from Coffee Stain Publishing - the team behind Goat Simulator, a veritable granddaddy of viral video games.

At the time Svensson and Tornqvist were working together at Swedish studio Pieces Interactive, but by the end of 2018 Svensson had left to focus fully on Valheim.
