Forget millions, when will it sell billions?
Welcome back to another round of big numbers forValheim, the latest little indie game that could. Iron Gate Studio’s survival-y craft-y viking game soldone million copiesin its first week,two millionin under two weeks, and now three million just a few days after that. Impressed as I am, I’d rather be playing Valheim right now than telling you about its sales figures so I’ve done us all a favor and projected the next couple milestones. You’re welcome.
Iron Gatehave announcedthat as of today, Valheim has sold over three million copies and has raked in over 60,000 user reviews on Steam. It peaked at 147,000 viewers on Twitch on Wednesday, they say. I can’t imagine that the small studio could have expected quite this level of popularity at launch.
“We were always working with the assumption that the EA launch would be somewhat successful, so I guess it does not really change our plans that much,” says Iron Gate CEO Richard Svensson. “Except that maybe we can afford a bigger office now.” Perhaps they can build an entire longhouse, eh?

Having been suddenly swamped with Valheim’s rise to prominence, I suspect that Svensson may be running out of things to say about each milestone, as am I. So to save both of us from becoming Valheim sales tickers, I’ve gone ahead and plotted out Valheim’s sales numbers for the next two months. Next time you’re curious how many copies Valheim has sold, just pop on over here to check. It’s a certifiably correct projection because I made it in Microsoft Excel.
As you can see here, Valheim is scheduled to hit approximately four million sales this weekend while I will be attempting to build my very first longship. It’ll hit eight million around my birthday in early March. As a birthday present, I will just point you all to this here post instead of writing a new one. Valheim will double that to 16 million about a month later in April.
