Valheim continues to grow. The Viking-RPG game has become one of the standout titles over the last couple of weeks and is going from strength to strength. The game already has a player base into the millions and is only in the early stages of Steam early access. Where the game is in early access, developers Iron Gate are implementing regular Valheim Updates. February 17, is the date of the latest one. Here are all the changes and patch notes from that update.
Valheim Update February 17 changes
The latest update doesn't add too much to the title, instead, it fixes a range of bugs that have cropped up over the last few days. It does also make a quality of life change, by adjusting the auto-save time from 30 minutes to 20 minutes.

What's next for Valheim?
The answer is A LOT. As I've stated, the game is only in the early stages of early access. There are still new biomes that have yet to be added into the game, and undoubtedly along with them a host of new items, weapons, enemies, materials, crafting recipes and so much more.
