Stardew Valley is a farming simulation RPG developed and published by ConcernedApe, created entirely by one developer Eric Barone. Players inherit their grandfather’s old farm and must restore it while building relationships with the townsfolk of Pelican Town, exploring dangerous mines, fishing, raising animals, and growing crops. The game features a richly detailed world with seasonal changes, over 40 villagers, and a wealth of content to discover.

Stardew Valley uses a custom 2D engine with pixel art graphics optimized for maximum compatibility and minimum hardware requirements. The game runs excellently on virtually any hardware including very old integrated graphics solutions. Stardew Valley supports 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions with smooth performance on all modern hardware. The game also supports ultra-wide monitors and a wide variety of controller types for comfortable play.

Stardew Valley supports cooperative multiplayer for up to four players, allowing friends to farm together and share the experience. Regular free updates by ConcernedApe have expanded the game significantly since launch, adding new content, items, and gameplay features. Stardew Valley has sold over 30 million copies and is one of the most successful indie games ever made. The game is available on PC, consoles, and mobile platforms.
