Valheim cheats: All codes and console commands to wield godly power

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.

With the release of Valheim's Mistlands update, you may be looking for some new Mistlands cheats to give yourself a shortcut to all the new resources, armor, and weapons. We've added the ones we've found in Mistlands cheats section below.

How to use Valheim cheats

Activating Valheim cheats with PC Game Pass version

3. Right-click Valheim.exe and select Create shortcut
4. Drag the shortcut to your desktop or preferred location
5. Right-click the shortcut and select Properties
