Valheim cheats: Full list of codes & how to use them
If you don't mind cheating your way to Valhalla...
Let's face it, survival games are hard at the best of times, and sometimes you just want to kick back and have fun with the world.
For those who fall into this camp, we have for you all of the Valheim cheats with a full list of codes and how to use them.
Valheim became a runaway success in 2021, with millions of players loving the nostalgic lo-fi graphics, low asking price and notable lack of microtransactions, loot boxes or DLC.
To boot, Valheim was developed by veritable digital Vikings Iron Gate Studios, who hail from Sweden, bolstering the Norse credentials of the game.
Though the Vikings lived during a brutal bygone era, those in Valheim are here now, and we can lessen the load with all the handy-dandy cheats included in the game - but we can't completely guarantee that you won't incur the wrath of Odin for doing so.
Read on to subvert the gods in Valheim!
How to use cheats in Valheim
Using cheats for Valheim on Steam or Game Pass isn't quite as simple as punching a code into an in-game menu. We'll share how to activate the cheats for both versions.
For the Steam version, you'll need to activate the in-game console by setting it as a launch option in Steam.
Do this by right-clicking Valheim in your Steam library and selecting "properties". In the "general" tab, find the "launch options" field, punch in "-console", close the tab, open the game and you should be good to go!
For Game Pass, you'll also have to activate the in-game console.
In the game's installation folder, find the Valheim.exe file, right click it and select "create shortcut". Right click the shortcut (wherever you saved it) and select "Properties". In the "shortcut" tab, add "-console" to the end of the Target field, click "apply", then "OK".
Once you launch the game from the shortcut, you should be all good to cheat away.
