Now, it seems the studio has decided to focus on releasing the game on Xbox- before the game is finnised on PC.

I'm sorry. I spent my money for you to finnish the game on PC, ON STEAM. The store page says nothing about the game development spending our funding to focus on other platforms first.

The latest blog post said Valheim is about to or ready to be released on Xbox. What's next, Playstation before final release?

Respect your early access buyers on PC. We dont need you to slow down development by supporting multiple platforms. It's not what we bought the game in early access for.

Making an Xbox version would be extremely easy. They just need their code to be compatible with what Xbox works with, which is a modified version of windows, as others have previously stated, and they're just adjusting stuff to make it work as best as possible on that hardware. That's all. That's not going to take a long time. If this was a title that was developed for consoles, and then had to be adapted to PC, that takes more time. Don't ask me how or why, it is just faster to code from PC to Xbox than say, PS5 or Xbox S to PC.

yes, so it's not going to take a long time. They will have Xbox devs helping them out and the port will happen quite quickly.
