Hello everyone,
Today is the 10-year Anniversary of Stardew Valley’s launch.
While the game has been publicly available for 10 years, I’ve been working on it for almost 15 years.
That’s a long time. Though, it’s also felt like the blink of an eye.
Stardew has grown a lot over the last 15 years.
To highlight some of that growth, I put together a little video that shows off some very early versions of the game, with my commentary. You can watch that below. It will be available on Feb 26th, 2026 at 11am PST.
Of course, there is a lot more that I could show off beyond this footage. But I didn’t want to take up too much of everyone’s time.
I have a lot of old Stardew Valley files on my computer. And somewhere, I have an external hard drive with back ups of the game that I took periodically during the entire course of development.
(To the programmers out there, no I didn’t use any version control software during development. I just backed up the entire project every now and then.)
Maybe I will show off more things, someday, if there’s interest.
But to be honest, I prefer focusing on the now and future of Stardew Valley, than thinking about the past too much.
Right now, the game is a very feature-rich and content-full experience, with many new and returning players every single day. It’s sold 50 million copies with no sign of slowing down.
And there’s a new update in the works which I think will make the game even better, and give everyone who hasn’t played in a while a reason to come back again.
I’m very happy with the success of Stardew Valley. It’s given my life a lot of meaning and purpose, beyond anything I would’ve ever thought possible as a starry-eyed teenager.
It seems that Stardew Valley has been a positive force for a lot of people. Not just as a fun game, but as an experience that brought them comfort, hope, joy, and even taught valuable life lessons. And with multiplayer, an experience that brought them closer to friends and family, or even to their future spouses.
It’s special to me, that there are people who will play Stardew Valley during their formative years, and remember that experience fondly for the rest of their lives.
To them, my funny ideas like “green rain”, “Krobus”, “trash bear”, “Mr. Qi”, “junimos” or the “raccoon family that lives in a stump” may become cherished memories.
The games that I played as a kid inspired me with feelings of boundless creativity and possibility. To be able to pass that special type of feeling on to others, is to me a noble pursuit. So I’m really grateful that I’ve been given the opportunity to do something like that. And I hope to continue it with Haunted Chocolatier and beyond.
The community surrounding Stardew Valley has grown so large, and with so many people producing fan art, memes, videos, mods, theories, guides, and more… that it’s sometimes hard to remember that this all started in my own head. As an idea, a vision. A vision that I grinded away at to materialize into the physical world. And now it’s expanded into this massive thing that is largely external to me. I sincerely hope that Stardew Valley, and all my future work, will be a force of good in the world.
We’re all on a journey to become the best versions of ourselves. I know I haven’t even come close. Maybe it’s an impossible goal. But yet, I hope that my work, and even my own life, will inspire people to try their best. Whether we succeed or fail, it’s noble to try one’s best.
I’m thankful for everyone who has played Stardew Valley. I’m thankful to everyone who has helped me over the years, too. At the end of the day, it’s not so much about me, anyway. I will be gone some day, but this world I’ve dreamed up may live on forever. That idea is humbling and gives me a solemn sense of purpose.
But hey, at the end of the day, games are supposed to be FUN. That will always by the priority in my work. And not everything has to be heavy. Life is both heavy and light-hearted, but my games are mostly light-hearted.
So, sorry to get emo on you guys. It’s just, that when I’m thinking… 1 0 y e a r s… it makes me consider the big picture.
well, back to the old grind… my joy.
Thanks for 10 great years of Stardew Valley, everyone.
And here’s to a bright future in the valley, and beyond!

With the release of Stardew Valley 1.6 on mobile, there is now a hidden multiplayer feature which you can access. This feature is available on Android and iOS, but not the Apple Arcade version (Also known as Stardew Valley+).
It is hidden for a couple of reasons:
It’s an experimental feature, so it might still have some bugs or issues.
The nature of the mobile platform could make a multiplayer session frustrating, under certain scenarios.
Mobile multiplayer works pretty much the same as on other platforms, except there is no farm “discovery” capability. You can only connect via IP. You can, however, join a PC-hosted farm from a mobile device via IP.
The ideal “mobile multiplayer” scenario would be to connect to a PC-hosted farm from a high-end mobile device on a local network (using wi-fi, unless you have some way to connect your mobile device to ethernet). This would be the best-case scenario.
If you try to connect or host using a cell phone network, you will likely encounter problems.
The worst case scenario would be if someone were to host a game from a low-performance phone, on a cell network (you would probably have to create a mobile wi-fi hotspot for others to connect to locally), and they were on a train or something, going through tunnels. And then the host is also getting calls, causing the app to be interrupted repeatedly. This would result in a potentially frustrating multiplayer experience.
However, if you want to try these things out, there’s nothing stopping you… Just be aware that there are inherent connectivity issues that can arise when attempting to host a multiplayer game from a mobile device.
Here is how to unlock the experimental multiplayer feature on mobile:
On the title screen, you will notice that the “Stardew Valley” logo has four groups of leaves attached to it.
2. Using the guide below, tap the leaves in this order: ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → … Then press the “?” button in the bottom right corner of the screen. (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, ? )
3. Exit the “?” menu. You should now have a co-op button on the title screen.
4. In the co-op menu, you will have options to “Host” or “Join”. If you are joining, put in the IP address of the host. If you are hosting, you will have to set up the farm first, and then if there are cabins available, others should be able to connect to you (they will need your IP address). To find your IP address for hosting, do the following:
For iOS: Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Click the (i) next to your Wi-Fi name -> Look for “IP Address”
For Android: Settings -> Network & internet -> Internet -> Click the cog next to your Wi-Fi name -> Look for “IP address”
EXTRA TIPS AND NOTES:
*CAUTION: Don’t use an important save file for this, unless you back it up first! This features is experimental and could have bugs in it which would compromise your save file.
*Make sure you are on the same version of the game as your friends, or you won’t be able to connect. You can check in the “?” menu on the title screen, it will display in the bottom left corner
*You must either be on the same network as other players (i.e. on the same Wi-Fi, same hotspot, etc.), or connecting to a player who is port-forwarding their game. (24642 UDP is the port needed)
*Note to iOS players: The first time you join, you will receive a prompt asking for permission to find and connect to other devices on the network. After you hit “Allow”, it will fail to connect the first time you try. When you try again, it should work.
*Multiplayer is currently not available on the Apple Arcade version of Stardew Valley.
If you’re at this page, you might be interested in trying out the public beta for Stardew Valley 1.6.9 on Steam.
We’re doing a low-key public beta so that we can hopefully find any last bugs that might be in the patch, as well as give modders some lead time to update their mods for 1.6.9 before the update goes totally public.
This isn’t a huge content patch… but there some good bug fixes, quality-of-life changes, technical updates, and under-the-hood stuff that might be of interest to modders.
However, whether you are a modder, speedrunner, or just a humble Stardew Valley enjoyer, your testing and bug reports are very much appreciated.
If you do encounter any bugs, please report them to the official forum.
Thank you for your continued support!
-Ape
To join the beta:
1. Right click Stardew Valley in your library
2. Select Properties
3. Select the “Betas” tab
4. Under “Private Betas”, type stardewvalley169
5. Press the “Check Code” button.
6. Click the dropdown menu next to “Beta Participation”, and select “Beta”.
Stardew Valley should then update to the 1.6.9 beta. Enjoy
Please note, if you save a farm in 1.6.9, you will no longer be able to load it in 1.6.8. Backing up your save files is recommended.
NOTE: The development and release of this patch does not have any effect on the timeline of the console and mobile ports. However, the features of this patch are planned to be available in the console/mobile ports upon initial release. Thank you for your continued patience.
The following patch notes were compiled by Pathoschild (who also did a lot of the work on this update)
New content & features
Sam and Shane now have work portraits while working at JojaMart.
Balance changes
You can no longer take damage while jumping down a mine shaft before the screen fades to black.
You can now buy another advanced iridium rod from Willy’s shop after unlocking it.
Wearing two thorns rings now deals double damage.
Monsters killed by a thorns ring now drop loot like regular kills.
Son of Crimsonfish can now be caught during the night market.
Robin no longer constructs buildings during green rain in year 1.
Placing a bomb and then switching to a weapon no longer applies its enchantments to the bomb damage.

Added Game1.locationData, which provides a cached view of Data/Locations.
Error messages related to argument parsing (e.g. in debug commands, dialogue, event commands, map properties, etc) now also show a human-readable argument name. For example, “required index 0 not found” now shows something like “required index 0 (string itemId) not found“.
Any item type can now be shipped, subject to its item.canBeShipped() method.

Fixed quality modifiers ignored for entries with CopyQuality.
In pet data:
The Gifts list now supports item spawn fields (including conditions and item quality/color/name/etc). The previous QualifiedItemID and Stack fields are now deprecated, but content packs which set them should still work.

Fixed HAS_TARGET_LOCATION always returning true.

Overhauled tool translations:
Unified their names/descriptions from Strings/StringsFromCSFiles + Strings/1_6_Strings into a new Strings/Tools asset, with readable keys like Axe_Description.
Each tool upgrade now has its own translation (like “Gold Axe”), instead of generic ones like “Gold {0}” which were hard to translate well. This removes the ApplyUpgradeLevelToDisplayName field in Data/Tools.
For C# mods:
Added a new Game1.GetPlayer method, which deprecates the old getFarmer and getFarmerMaybeOffline methods.
In Data/Machines, OutputMethod C# methods now get the player interacting with the machine too (if any). Unfortunately this is a breaking change for C# mods which have custom OutputMethod methods.
Item data is now loaded earlier, so mods can use it when loading other assets (e.g. to check item context tags when generating location fish).
The Object.displayNameFormat field is now synced in multiplayer, to let mods create customized non-temporary items.
The default controller navigation in menus already auto-detected ClickableComponent values in public List<T> and some Dictionary<TKey, TValue> fields. That now works with any subclass of ClickableComponent and any combination of dictionary key/value types too.
You can now warp to a specific mine layout using the new forceLayout argument to Game1.enterMine or MineShaft.GetLevelName.
Fixed desert festival makeover not calling hat/clothing onEquip/onUnEquip methods.

Fixed some cases where you could call TriggerActionManager before it was fully initialized.
Fixed Object.OutputAnvil ignoring its probe argument.
Added more code docs.
Made more code public for mods.
Rewrote Game1.specialCurrencyDisplay. It can now handle and display multiple currencies at once, has constants and full code docs, and you no longer need to manually manage persistent display (e.g. while a menu is open).
Clamped the player’s daily luck to prevent a mine crash if it’s set to values far outside the normal range.
In generic item spawn fields, added Color to set the tint color.
Terrain sounds like footsteps now work in locations with the TreatAsOutdoors map property too.
Wild seeds now choose their output when they’re planted, so mods can predict their harvest.
Geode crushers now handle mystery boxes correctly if a mod enables them in geode crushers.
Tweaked powers tab code so mods can get the power ID for a slot.
Fixed cases where item names could be set to null. Trying to do so now defaults the name to Error Item instead.
Fixed StatIncrement fields in machine and farm animal data not using the specified ID.
Fixed spirit & custom torches switching to default torch sprite on purchase or stack split.
Fixed a Data/Pets turtle gift ID to match what it actually gifts (Radish -> SeafoamPudding).
Fixed Data/Characters appearance options not weighted correctly by default.
Fixed some friendship logic still checking for a Data/NPCGiftTastes entry, instead of the CanSocialize field in Data/Characters.
Fixed AllowWakeUpWithoutBed map property not working consistently.
