I recently picked up a half-finished Stardew Valley save file to mess around with the 1.5 update, and it didn't take long for me to start flipping through the wiki to refresh myself. While the wiki is always going to have its place (barring...

In case you missed it, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, developer of Stardew Valley, just put out a gigantic update for the game on PC. The operative phrase here: PC. As is customary, the patch surprise-dropped on the platform basically when it ...

Stardew Valley added a whole new island to explore with update 1.5 on PC, and it's surprisingly fleshed-out. There's a lot to it! If you're looking for a straight-to-the-point starter guide, here goes nothing. To reach the island, you'll n...

We only just learned about beach farms and a cool shakeup for Community Center bundles in Stardew Valley, and now there's even better news: update 1.5 is out today on Steam. Eric Barone finished it! As usual, PC players are up first, and ot...

With hundreds of hours logged in Stardew Valley, I find myself saying often: "yeah, I can start another farm." Such is the power of the dew. It helps that it's run by one of the most affable and approachable developers in the gaming in...

It's almost time to go back to the farm to chiiillllllll. It won't be a whole lot longer until we can reap what Eric Barone has sown.  After spending most of 2020 working on Stardew Valley's massive 1.5 update, Barone says it's ne...

Can ConcernedApe do no wrong? After Stardew Valley got online multiplayer, I wrote off split-screen co-op as something that probably wouldn't happen – but where there's a will, there's a way. The developer has continued to improve the...

Stardew Valley is such a watershed game, that absolutely any small addition can get fans to salivate. Banana trees? The internet goes wild. Moving your bed? I need to carve out time in my schedule when 1.5 hits just for this. It's crazy how...

You can find a cover of a Zelda song on pretty much any instrument, or anything that will allow it. Here, let's try a little experiment. I randomly Googled "Mario Maker Lost Woods." Yep, there's an app for that. "Epona's Song on a flut...

Stardew Valley's lifetime sales were not a sprint: it's a marathon. That's the kind of raw power that developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone tapped into when they created this timeless masterpiece, as the evergreen sales of this monster of a ...

I remember when Stardew Valley came out. I was preoccupied with a lot of work at the time, but vowed to get to it as quickly as I could: bearing a lot of fond memories for the Harvest Moon series. The minute I booted it up, I knew that I wo...

Stardew Valley is packed enough on its own: so much so that I haven't really sought out the comfort of mods. But the modding scene has been incredibly robust ever since the game hit the market, to the point where just about anyone can whip ...

For all the time I've spent in Stardew Valley, I've never thought about moving my bed – which is good, because in the current version of the game, it won't budge. That's changing in update 1.5, though! People are stoked about the bed...

You might love Stardew Valley enough to own multiple copies of the game, but what about a physical copy? It's a frequent request, and the time has come. Creator Eric Barone partnered with Fangamer for a Collector's Edition release of Starde...

I feel like a restless kid on an all-day road trip who only left home twenty minutes ago. "Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet?" No, Stardew Valley hasn't gotten its 1.5 update yet – "it's still in a 'nose to the grindstone phase'" &ndas...

At this point, Stardew Valley has its own lore. If there's a sequel you better believe that developer ConcernedApe will expand upon it, and the fans will demand appearances from some of the more iconic characters and races that inhabit...

I have a lot of family members who cross-stitch, but every time I think I can remotely begin to grasp the fine art of it, something else comes up. These Stardew Valley seasonal designs are really tempting me to finally take the pl...

I stopped and starred at this Stardew Valley image for quite some time. Shared by pikaprim on Reddit, it showcases all four seasons spliced into one image, which is actually a 33-year-old Stardew Valley farm. For those who ar...

Stardew Valley has skyrocketed into my "most played games of all time" list these past couple of years. Free substantial updates help (there's more on the way!), but co-op single-handedly sealed the deal. I literally doubled my playtime wit...

Stardew Valley launched back in February of 2016, but at any given moment, you wouldn't think so! The passion for Stardew is just as strong as it was back when it was a little-known Harvest Moon contender, and developer Eric "ConcernedApe" ...

This week, Destructoid is made possible by Boot Hill Bounties, a throwback RPG in the style of 16-bit classics like Chrono Trigger and EarthBound. Gather your party and head out on a massive, spaghetti western adventure, now available on Ni...

It's kind of crazy that Stardew Valley hasn't hit Switch yet physically in the west, but it sure hasn't. Amazingly Japan got a limited release physically, and region-free copies go for hundreds of dollars. That...may change. According to a ...

Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone is letting fans influence the direction of update 1.5 – a tiny part of it, anyway. The game designer recently held a Twitter poll asking fans if they'd rather have an avocado, banana, mango, or passi...

The continued love and affection for Stardew Valley has exceeded all expectations. Four years after launch, creator Eric Barone is working on yet another content update. He's cooking up version 1.5. "Thanks everyone for the Stardew Valley f...

I'm fine with fighting creatures in Stardew Valley as a means to an end, but I know plenty of players who would prefer not to engage with the mines if given a satisfying alternative. A new mod for the PC version of Stardew Valley, Pacifist ...
