Valheim is available on Steam, on Xbox and in PC Game Pass. With crossplay everyone plays together on your server.
Switch on crossplay
- Startup variables tab → Enable crossplay (
ENABLE_CROSSPLAY) to on. - Restart the server.
On our regular Valheim server crossplay is already switched on.
Join with the join code
With crossplay your server gets a join code – a short number:
- Open the Console tab. After the start there is a line with the join code.
- In Valheim: Join game → Enter code ("Join code") and type the number.
- Enter the server password – done.
This works the same for Steam, Xbox and Game Pass players. The code can change after a restart – then look in the console again.
Good to know
- Mods and crossplay usually don't go together. Xbox players can't install mods. On our mod servers (BepInEx, Valheim Plus) crossplay is therefore off by default.
- Without crossplay, Steam players join as usual via Join IP – see Valheim: connect to the server.
- Trouble joining: Valheim: joining fails.
