Stardew Valley Celebrates Ten Years of Farms, Friendships and Pelican Town

Stardew Valley has reached its tenth anniversary, marking a decade since players first inherited a neglected farm and made Pelican Town their home.

What this means for players

Few games have grown so gracefully. Free updates, mod support and a welcoming community transformed a solitary farming RPG into an enduring comfort game across generations and platforms.

Guild briefing

The anniversary is less about a single feature than the remarkable life of the game itself. It is an ideal moment to revisit an old save—or finally start the farm that has been waiting in the backlog.
