Valheim server hosting FAQ

How much RAM does a Valheim server need?

Vanilla Valheim runs well on 6 GB for a full group of 10. Small groups can start on 4 GB, and modded worlds are happier on 8 GB or more.

Can Xbox players join my Valheim server?

Yes. Turn on crossplay in the panel and Xbox and Microsoft Store players join with the join code shown there. Steam players can still join by address.

How many players can join?

Valheim allows up to 10 players on one server. That is the game’s own limit, not ours.

Why does Valheim ask for a password?

Valheim servers need a password of at least 5 characters, and it cannot be part of the server name. You set it when you create the server and can change it any time.

Does my server wake up when someone joins?

Joining by address wakes it straight away. Crossplay joins go through Xbox services instead, so share your wake link with crossplay friends; one tap wakes the server.

Can I switch to a different game later?

Yes. Swap your server to any game your plan can run, as often as you like, with no swap fees. Your old world is saved so you can switch back.

How old do I need to be?

Wilderack is for players aged 13 and up. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian needs to agree to the purchase.
