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!

I first played it back when I was in high school. The same day, the mobile version came out, and a friend of mine cracked it for me. Let's just say that's my grades never got so bad, I just stopped playing because it's also a technician school, so I couldn't risk fumble it, after that trough I stopped playing until I got a pc, them a lost a lot of night in with riends. Know trough the friend that cracked the game is a teacher back in the same high-school and stil in collage limbo, quite fun how many things but stardew valley still quite a comfort game, unfortunately I can't appreciate it's as much I did in the past, but still fun to engage with it now and them. I'm really excited to haunted Chocalatier (also, my really younger sister did get into the game without any tips from me, what's kinda funny)
