Looking for Valheim cheats and console commands on Steam or PC Game Pass? The Viking survival game may appear fairly peaceful when you're starting out, but you'll soon find mythical Valheim bosses to battle. You might discover that you need some extra juice to weather Valheim's tougher regions—or maybe you just want to build the ultimate base without having to worry about gathering materials. Here are all the Valheim console commands and cheats from god mode to item spawning, and how to activate them whether you're playing on Steam or on PC Game Pass.
You can only use Valheim console commands in singleplayer mode but there are lots of fun cheats to use, including a god mode which makes you invulnerable, the ability to add skill points and spawn weapons and armor, and even the power to fly through the air like Thor. There's also a 'debug mode' that lets you build without the need for a workbench or resources. For those in a multiplayer world, there are some console commands that can be used by server admins and these have also been listed below.
