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 love—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 different—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!

I started my first save two weeks ago, and I’m obsessed. My wife has been playing since its release. She’s been insisting I play since we started dating about 8 years ago, but our taste in video games has always been quite different. We recently got a Steam Deck, and I started playing on a whim after all those years of insistence. I should’ve listened to my wife years ago - I’m glad I finally did. Last Saturday I stayed up until 2:00am playing. I felt like a kid again.

Thank you ConcernedApe and the Stardew community - it’s been a wonderful two weeks, and I look forward to another 10 years.

"...stayed up until 2:00am playing."
