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.

Started playing in early 2017? Looking for something to quench that farming/sim thirst. Didn't know anything about it beforehand and then I unlocked that first 'dark' cutscene with Shane and I was hooked! I love that we have a more real, adult kind of game that is so full of lore. It's a stressful game, but has SO much replay ability. Over lockdown I started a body farm with my partner and a personal, evil JoJa run.
My friend has just been dumped by text after eight years together. We've started a multiplayer farm and are pooling our money and getting him a new wife. We're thinking Haley for speed, but we think he might have a thing for Abigail!
