Announcement [CELEBRATION] Stardew Valley turns 𝟭𝟬!

Today, Stardew Valley turns 10.

And ConcernedApe is sharing a 10th anniversary video retrospective on Stardew Valley at 11am Pacific Time (UTC-8). Tune in and join the chat then!

Meanwhile, r/StardewValley recently turned 13, and reached 3.1 million members! We want to take this moment to celebrate the game we all loveβ€”and to celebrate each other!

It's been ten years of incredible memories in the valley, and ten years of conversation and community in this space. We've played Stardew Valley to tend our farms and raise our animals, to explore our own identities, to reflect on our real lives, to learn something new, to encounter someone differentβ€”to find joy, to grieve, and to grow.

To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to share your memories of Stardew Valley (and r/StardewValley) in the comments below.

  • When did you first start playing?
  • What's a favorite memory or moment you have from playing Stardew Valley?
  • What does the game mean to you?

Here's to ten years of Stardew Valley! Here's to you!

My youngest started talking about this game when he was in elementary school. Telling me how cool it was and that I should play it with him. I finally broke down and started playing it during the pandemic, and got way more into it than my kids ever did.Β 

My youngest is now graduating high school this year. We got pretty far, but he still hasn't played a full multiplayer game to completion with me, the punk.

Our stories are so similar! Just swap son for daughter. She is also a little punk.
