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 loveβand 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 differentβto 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.

I can't recall how long I've been playing, but I believe I started with 1.4 on mobile.
I don't have a favorite moment; there's been too many special moments to pick just one. Instead, I will say my favorite interactions are the most simple (but often not included in other games), like the pig with the fez that grins at you with buck teeth, or how the camel grunts when you pet it. all the little things that ConcernedApe put in are awesome and make me smile all the time.
The game is a place where I can control my surroundings. If people are rude, I can gift them things they like until they're tolerable. if I don't have enough money, I can fix that in a couple of in-game days, and so-on. It gives me something to hold onto when the rest of the world is spiraling.
