Stardew Valley has sold over 10 million copies. It's strange & amazing to think back to when I was making this game in my bedroom w/ no clue if anyone would like it. Only 4 years ago! To everyone who has played this game, supported it, and made all of this possible: Thank you!!
Today is the 5 year anniversary of Stardew Valley. Just want to say thanks to all of you for being part of this. It's been really cool.
was going through some things and found my old notebook w/ the original community center concept
Happy new year to all! I hope you all have a very positive 2022. Here's a couple of small images from Haunted Chocolatier. There will be plenty more to come this new year!
There is going to be a Stardew 1.6 update. It's mostly changes for modders (which will make it easier & more powerful to mod). But there is also new game content, albeit much less than 1.5. I'm taking a break from Haunted Chocolatier to work on this at the moment. Then back to HC
Thanks everyone for the Stardew Valley 4-year anniversary wishes. It's been a pleasure, and I look forward to another great year! Now that 1.4 is out on all intended platforms, I'd like to announce that there will be another free content update (1.5)..it's currently in the works!
I'm happy to announce today's launch of Stardew Valley: The Board Game. It's been in the works for over 2 years. Read more about it here: stardewvalley.net/stardew-valley or visit the shop to purchase: shop.stardewvalley.net
I'm now self-publishing Stardew Valley on Android. With this change, I'm now self publishing the game on all digital platforms. Also, feel free to ask me any questions (about anything ) and I will answer as best I can
Fresh Haunted Chocolatier screen shot. Also, Merry Christmas everyone
Pleased to announce my new game: "ConcernedApe's Haunted Chocolatier" -- in development! #hauntedchocolatier
Stardew is 20% off on Steam for a week, and during this time 100% of revenue will go to help protect whales, dolphins, belugas, and other aquatic mammals through WDC . Pictured is a beluga whale,
The Stardew Valley 1.5 Update for Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation are out, and should be available on all platforms within the next couple of hours.
If you're a seasoned player thinking of starting a new farm when 1.5 comes out, I'd like to highlight a couple of new features. There will be a new farm type, "Beach Farm", and a new "Advanced Game Options" menu, from which you can adjust some aspects of the game:
Haunted Chocolatier: stunning an enemy allows for a quick attack
TIP: this icon will pulsate if you are hovering over an item that is needed in the community center. It can be very useful
I've been playing Stardew online co-op with a group of friends for just over a year. Was a great way to stay in touch during a strange year. Finally got 100%. Just tweeting this to commemorate the event
the 1.5 update is in the "home stretch", it's a very big update so there is a lot of polishing and bug fixing necessary to make sure it's ready. It'll be very fun to share it with all of you in the near future. I think you'll be really happy and surprised with all the new stuff!
Bird's eye view of the new Beach Farm. Also a reminder to check out the new "Advanced Game Options" button on the character creation menu if you're starting a new game!
Stardew Valley 1.5 update... notice anything new in Willy's shop? Progress on the update is coming along steadily. It's still in a "nose to the grindstone" phase, but some good milestones have been met. This update adds a significant new piece of end-game content and much more!
Thanks for voting... Banana is the winner! Looks like mango is the runner up...
Another sneak peek into the upcoming 1.4 update... introducing fish ponds, a new farm building that allows you to raise fish and collects eggs (roe) and other products.
Merry Christmas to all!
Also... the porting team, and myself, are working very hard still to get mobile 1.5 out before the end of the year. It's very very close, but there are still some finishing touches.
MOBILE: The porting team and I have been working extremely hard this past week on the 1.5 update. We're so close. We could probably release right now. But we need 1 more week to ensure quality. I accept full responsibility for not hitting the end of year target.
I'm really pleased to announce a physical version of Stardew Valley for Switch & PC! This is in collaboration with and there is both a standard edition and a collector's edition w/ bonus goodies. Pre-orders are now available: fanga.me/r/stardew-vall

I've never seen so many thank-you's. I'm accepting them, holding them, but then sending more back out. It's like a snowball fight but with thank-you's. I like it. Everyone is so polite, and with a good heart. Bless you
4-player Stardew Valley LAN party at my house... it's really fun. It still needs some work, but the underlying network code is solid. Being in the same room and yelling at each other about what to do next, or if anyone has any stone, is great fun. Can't wait to share this
Hey everyone, happy 'ween (spirit's eve). I know I haven't been too active lately, but don't worry, I'm still here. And mobile 1.5 update is still on track for what I said last: "Before the end of the year". Thank you
The Stardew Valley 1.4 Content Update is now available for PC, Mac, and Linux on Steam & GOG!
Stardew Valley now available on Apple Arcade 👍

New App Store Great
We could go on and on, raving about @ConcernedApe's Stardew Valley+, but here are a few words to sum it up:
Farm. Fish. Chicken. Community. Serenity. And everything else good in this world.

Console players: the update is being submitted to certification today. That can take a variable amount of time so I can't make any guarantee about release date. I still feel that my original estimate of late this month or early next month is likely, though.
The 1.5 update for mobile is making very good progress. It should be out before the end of the year. Mobile players... thanks for your patience
Update on Stardew Valley multiplayer: still making good progress on fixing bugs, if all goes well it should be ready in about a month
The mobile 1.5 update has been submitted for iOS and Android, and will start rolling out to users over the next few days. The update should already be available to some on Android.
I'm working on some new Stardew Valley content, to be released with the upcoming free multiplayer update. This will affect single-player, too! I'll share more when the release gets closer. Though I'll keep some things secret (more fun)
Stardew Valley tip: after you've bought a backpack upgrade, you can hit the Tab key (or the shoulder buttons on controller) to shift your toolbar row. You can access all your items this way without having to open the menu.
The first printing of the board game is now sold out. We've been blown away by the excitement and response! We're working on getting a second printing started, and I'll let you know when there are updates.
The 1.5 update will be coming to consoles early next year. It's possible it could be ready by the end of January but I can't guarantee that yet. Mobile has no release estimate yet.
A lot of people are asking about the mobile 1.5 update, so I want to confirm that it's still being worked on, and that I am still committed to it.
Just want to point out again that since update 1.4, I've had a small team working with me on the updates.... really small. The latest update (1.5) was just me and This update wouldn't have happened without him!
Stardew Valley is available today on Game Pass! If you know someone who hasn't tried out the game before, this might be the perfect opportunity. I hope a lot more people get to play Stardew now

That Wild Bait paid off!

Today's patch fixes the infamous "fishing rod in head" bug, which has haunted Stardew Valley from day 1:
Today is the 2 year anniversary of Stardew Valley. I've got that strange sensation of both the shortest and longest 2 years of my life. Thanks for joining me on this journey everyone. With MP close, my next (secret) game in the works, and more... there's lots to look forward to

Hey everyone, just wanted to share this screenshot from the upcoming 1.4 update! It's a big one, & this image only reveals a fraction of what's coming. Featured here is a new farm map called Four Corners that's perfect for the much requested "separate money" option in multiplayer
The Stardew Valley 1.4 update is now available on Switch & PS4, and should be coming to Xbox in the next couple of hours. I hope you enjoy it and happy holidays everyone!

One of my favorite things in the new update... hats on your horses. They look very good on the horse. Looks pretty natural, actually
Just a heads up everyone, starting today I am self-publishing Stardew Valley on the Switch. With this change I'm now self-publishing on all platforms except mobile.
Hey everyone, I'd like to share a cool thing I made... it's a music video for the band, Alvvays. Some of the band members are Stardew Valley fans & we started talking. I got an early listen to their new album, and the song "Many Mirrors" resonated with me
hey everyone, happy Stardew 3rd anniversary, also want to let you know that Stardew Valley for Android has a release date: March 14th!

hhaha shoot... this was intended to be a reply to someone
I love Stardew Valley and I will continue working my hardest to make it the best it can be. As always, thanks so much for your support and encouragement :-)
I'm aware of the "blue ground" bug on consoles... We're investigating it, and after it's figured out it will be fixed in a patch. Fortunately it only seems to happen in one specific area, and is only a visual bug. (This message brought to you by Joja Bluu)

someone pointed out the perspective looks kinda weird around the passageway, and on the drop down spots. And I agree, so I've been working on it
I know you’ve been waiting for the 1.5 update for Stardew Valley on mobile. It's underway but still a while off. I had to get someone new to port the 1.5 update to mobile versions of the game. This added some time but was necessary. I appreciate your trust and patience!
Stardew Valley multiplayer is in QA and bugs are being fixed at a very good pace!
The Stardew Valley 1.4 update for PC/Mac/Linux will be available tomorrow at 10am PST. Less than 24 hours!
Mobile players, nothing new but I just want say again that the 1.5 update port is actively in development by the porting team, and there is continuous progress being made. I remain fully committed to seeing the 1.5 update on mobile. I really appreciate your patience with this
I'm aware that the wiki is having issues right now... the people who currently own/run the wiki are also aware and are trying to get it back up as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
Testing multiplayer... it's coming along great! is doing fantastic work. I'm really excited, this is already really fun and it's only going to get better before release. Check out my log cabin
Stardew Valley 1.3 update beta is now available for testing on Steam! Instructions here: stardewvalley.net/blog/
Stardew Valley 1.3 (Multiplayer Update) is now Available on Steam & GOG!
Blog post with extra details: stardewvalley.net/stardew-valley
1.5.3 broke multiplayer fishing but a hotfix is incoming ASAP, it should be out within the hour. Sorry about that everyone
Also, I'm finished with the new content and have shifted all my attention to getting multiplayer ready!
I know I said the game would be back on Playstation Europe store "very soon" last month. I was wrong. Still working on it with Sony. You can still play the game if you already own it, just can't buy it right now. I of course want it back up ASAP but the process is very slow
Alright, It's been brought to my attention that the hotfix broke the game. We'll fix this ASAP. Sorry about that

I'm gonna go get something to eat. Thanks for all the responses and questions everyone. And all the kind words, I really appreciate it. Hope you have a nice day
1.5 mobile should be out for iOS now. We're aware of some bugs and issues with both versions and we're working to fix them as quickly as possible. Thank you
some things I've added for the new content update:
*new "town event" in winter
*new type of collection that you can start in your first winter
*Signs (can display any item on them)
*More outdoor decorations (some change w/ season)
*More NPC "events"
*A way to re-spec professions

This is Stardew Valley's biggest update yet!
Congrats to Sandy's Candies for winning the Stardew Valley Cup! It was a lot of fun. Hope everyone who watched had a good time!
I think my last tweet might have given the impression that the new update will be focused mostly on multiplayer stuff, so I want to make clear that 95% of what's in this new update is meaningful for both single-player and multi-player. That's always my goal with new content!
The next update will include the following fruit tree:
- Avocado Tree26.5%
- Banana Tree30.6%
- Mango Tree29.3%
- Passionfruit Tree13.6%

It's truly an honor that GENTLE LOVE is doing a Stardew Valley album. I listened to their Secret Of Mana covers a bunch while developing Stardew. The most relaxing music possible. The Stardew album comes out on May 19, you can pre-order here if you want:
As for mobile: I'm committed to seeing the 1.5 update come to mobile, and I'm doing what I can to make that happen as soon as possible. There's no current timeline I can give for when that will happen, though.
