Valheim Ashlands Public Test
Valheim has published the public test for the Ashlands update. We'll tell you what the update contains in a moment, at least roughly. Before that, you need to know that the update may be unstable, as it is a test. The purpose of these tests is to identify and fix potential bugs and problems before the official release.
To access the beta version, right-click on Valheim in Steam and then click on "Properties". Now go to the Betas tab and enter the code "yesimadebackups" to access the trial version.
To access with Microsoft / PC Game Pass, start the Xbox Insider Hub app. Navigate to "Previews" and then search for "Valheim Public Test". Then select "Join". Then wait until registration is complete to be redirected to the Store and then install "Valheim Public Test".
