After reaching 30 million sales in February 2024, ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley closed the year with a massive new milestone. As of December, it’s sold over 41 million units, per Barone in a new press release. PC leads the pack with over 26 million sales, followed by Nintendo Switch with 7.9 million.
Stardew Valley had an eventful year with Update 1.6, adding eight-player multiplayer, festivals, new end-game content, balance changes, a new farm type, and more. Another patch would add 40 new layouts for mines alongside additional fairy styles, mystery boxes, and fish frenzies. The free updates follow Barone’s pledge for free post-launch support.
His next project, Haunted Chocolatier, is currently on hold while the developer focused on Stardew Valley (despite the promise to resume after Update 1.6). Whether this means more new content for the latter remains to be seen.
Stardew Valley is available on iOS, Android, PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
