Official SourceValheim
Iron Gate’s survival game began Early Access in 2021 and reached version 1.0 in September 2026. The full release added the Deep North alongside new weapons, armour and construction pieces. That history makes Valheim an unusual 2026 winner: the award recognises a game with years of play behind it and a new full release. It suits players who want to shape a shared world through crafting and exploration.
