We already covered the upcoming release of this new patch last month, but at the time of writing, no ETA was shared, and we estimated that it would take at least a couple of weeks before the update would be released to all players. Well, fast forward two weeks, and this new patch has now been made available. The update offers full support for Valve’s new Steam Deck in addition to full controller support, as well as a new single-player pause function and an FPS-limiter. In addition, this patch contains an option to reduce GPU usage when minimized. “The fenrings stalking the Mountains at night had to come from somewhere. Now you can finally discover the strange frozen caves where their brethren reside – if you’re brave enough to face them”, the developer writes. “Maybe you’ll even be able to learn a thing or two from how they fight?” “For this patch, we have also optimised the game for the Steam Deck. This also includes full controller support for PC as well, and a pause feature in singleplayer. That’s right, if you’re playing alone you’ll now be able to step away from the game for a moment without having to worry about being found by a troll!” For the sake of completeness, we’ve included the full release notes for this update once more: Valheim is available globally now for PC via Steam. This new update should download automatically once the Steam client is launched.
