They're going to have to completely rip out and replace some of the code to get it to work with console. There really aren't any games out there that can go from PC exclusive to crossplay without breaking loads of mods.

There is no way for Valheim to pull off this switch without breaking several mods, and there is no way for Valheim Plus to have possibly prepared for this without knowing the details of the changes well in advance (and possibly even then).

While I'm disappointed in the decision to support other platforms and include crossplay (because in my experience, 100% of the time an early access game does that, it leads to a serious reduction in the pace at which roadmap features are released, as the dev team spends a huge amount of time working on the platform compatibility and making sure existing and future features work with the other platforms - none of which benefits CURRENT owners of the game who bought early access and are waiting for the rest of the features that are supposed to be added), there was no way they could make this decision and have the downward compatibility that you'd like.
