This is the full list of Viking video games for PC — every game set in the Viking Age or inspired by Norse mythology, sorted by year from the 1980s through 2027 and beyond. Being on this list doesn’t mean a recommendation, only that it exists and fits the theme.
The list mixes two very different kinds of games, and it’s worth knowing which is which before you pick one. Some aim for real history — raiding, settlement-building, and the politics of the Viking Age itself, the way Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Expeditions: Viking do. Others drop history entirely and go straight for the mythology — fighting draugr, giants, and the gods themselves, the way God of War Ragnarök and Jotun do. Plenty sit somewhere in between. I’ve noted which is which as I go, so you can find what you’re actually after instead of assuming every “Viking game” plays the same.
Genres are just as spread out: survival and settlement-building (Valheim, ASKA, Vikings Dynasty), turn-based tactics (NORSE: Oath of Blood), horror (Apsulov: End of Gods), open-world action-RPG (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, God of War Ragnarök), and plenty of smaller indie titles that never get covered anywhere else. If it takes place in the Viking Age or draws on Norse mythology, it belongs here — however small or strange.
Most of the games below are on Steam, and I link to a code reseller for each where one’s available. If you’re after the oldest Viking games rather than the newest, the list runs all the way back to 1984 — scroll to the very bottom for the 1980s and 1990s entries.

Is God of War Ragnarök or Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Available on PC?
These are two of the biggest Viking-themed games out there, and both get searched constantly — but most of that search volume is actually about consoles, not PC. Here’s the real, current answer for each.
God of War Ragnarök on PC
Yes. God of War Ragnarök launched on PlayStation in November 2022, but Sony brought it to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on 19 September 2024 — nearly two years after the console release. If you’ve been holding out for a PC version, it’s finally here.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on PC
Yes, and it has been since day one — Assassin’s Creed Valhalla launched simultaneously on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox back in November 2020. There’s no separate wait for a PC port the way there was with God of War.
Looking for Something Like Valheim?
Valheim’s success has spawned a whole wave of imitators. ASKA is the closest currently available alternative to Valheim’s own survival-and-settlement-building formula. Vikings Dynasty (above) is an upcoming game with a similar premise, once it releases. Frozenheim and Northgard scratch a similar itch from more of a city-builder angle instead.

Viking Video Games: Quick Answers
Which Viking game has the largest reported player count?Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has passed 20 million players, according to Ubisoft. God of War Ragnarök has separately sold more than 15 million units on PS4 and PS5, with its later PC sales not included in that figure — the two numbers measure different things and aren’t directly comparable.
Which Viking games are based on real Norse mythology, not just Viking history? God of War Ragnarök is a fantasy adaptation that draws heavily on Norse mythology, including Ragnarök, Odin, Thor, Freya, and the Nine Realms. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Dawn of Ragnarök expansion has Eivor step into the role of Odin himself. Jotun has you proving your worth to the gods to enter Valhalla. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II weaves real Norse mythology into its Icelandic setting.
Is Valheim historically accurate? No — Valheim is a fantasy survival game inspired by Norse mythology and the Viking aesthetic, not a historical simulation. It’s not trying to be accurate, and that’s by design.
What’s the newest released Viking or Norse mythology video game? As of this update (13 September 2026), the most recent releases are Valheim 1.0 and Tales Of Glory 4: Ragnarok, both out on 9 September 2026. Several more are already announced for later in 2026 and into 2027 but haven’t released yet — see the tables above for what’s out now versus what’s still coming.
Is God of War Ragnarök available on PC? Yes — after launching on PlayStation in November 2022, it came to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on 19 September 2024.
What are some good games like Valheim? ASKA is the closest currently available alternative. Vikings Dynasty is an upcoming survival-and-settlement game with a similar premise. Frozenheim and Northgard offer a similar Viking setting from more of a city-builder angle.
What’s the oldest Viking video game? Viking Raiders (1984) is the oldest entry on this list. The 1980s and 1990s produced a handful of genuinely old Viking games, well before the genre became the crowded space it is today.
