In Stardew Valley, you start with an overgrown plot of land, a few hand-me-down tools, and a small amount of money. What you use them for is up to you! Stardew Valley is a country-life role playing game in which you make a new life for yourself by living off the land and getting to know the local townspeople. There are many ways to find success… try your hand at farming, fishing, mining, foraging, fighting monsters, and raising animals.

While making a living is an important part of your new life, you’ll also want to make friends with the locals. As you get to know people, you’ll learn more about their personalities and stories. You can even get married and have kids!

I spent over four years developing Stardew Valley, inspired by games that I loved as a child such as Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing. Although the idea of a “farming RPG” might have seemed odd at first, the games were very addictive and had a heartwarming charm that stuck with me. With Stardew Valley, my goal was to recreate that special feeling and bring it to modern platforms.

Stardew Valley has been a great success on PC, and I am very excited to share it with many new people on Xbox One. I hope you’ll enjoy your time in the valley!

Great fucking game. Hope the console port is awesome.

 

[LordKano]

Probably other consoles as well ? It was announced for PS4 and Wii U too.

 

[iFirez]

I always felt the controller controls felt strange when I tried them on PC, but the game is undeniably awesome so I'm happy a larger audience will get to play it.

 

[Indelible]

This would fit perfectly on Vita, hope it happens.

 

[Catvoca]

I'm down to double dip and pick up the PS4 version to replay it (which I assume will be the same date as the Xbox One version?)

 

[Aters]

I'm gonna buy it in a heartbeat when it comes to PS4.

 

[TerryLee81]

I will buy this!

 

[Syf]

This game deserves all the sales.

 

[Chesskid1]

that was a quick turn around! way faster then i expected, great news.

i don't own an xbox one

 

[Moze]

Timed exclusive?

 

[DashReindeer]

Great we're finally getting console versions. Hoping for a Switch version with the co-op added. That would be amazing to play with my friends wherever we find ourselves.

 

[marimorimo]

PS Vita port when !!!

 

[skynidas]

Is this a timed exclusive or what? I hate when this happens, they should just say it so people doesn't keep guessing.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I still need to get back to my third day.

 

[Nzyme32]

Mouse & Keyboard or Steam Controller work brilliantly for the sake of speed and ease of use.

I'd assume the whole cursor option will not be in the console version, but cycling is also shit, which is why I love the M&K or Steam Controller. They'll probably take the Terraria approach which is about as good as you could do with a controller.

 

[arturo2666]

I was just wondering the other day when this was coming and felt like they'd definitely miss the Q4 2016 projection. I'm in for PS4 version, hopefully it's same day.

 

[def sim]

Checking ConcernedApe's twitter, there's no mention of other platforms for now. He's the sole developer, as far as I know, so it's understandable why only one version might be ready this time.

Anyway, I'm not an anime person, but I don't think I can play this game without the anime portrait mods. It seems right, somehow.

 

[Ricker]

Havent played one these seriously in years(tried Terraria and the like),probably since one of the first Harvest Moon,might give it a shot on consoles.

 

[salromano]

Doubt it. They announced it for all three platforms (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U) in June with a "Q4 2016" release window: http://stardewvalley.net/stardew-valley-coming-to-consoles-q4-2016/

I messaged them on Twitter and am waiting for a response.

You control the cursol with the second stick. I like it better with a controller actually.

 

[Rocketz]

Cool. This and Astroneer should keep me busy for the month.

 

[Cincaid]

This is day one for me on PS4, hopefully it's the same date (or close to) the release for Xbox!

I believe he's outsourcing the console ports

 

[jesu]

Yay!
Just in time for Christmas

 

[Vital Tundra]

Come oooooon Switch version!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Come oooooon Switch version!

The possibility of this happening is keeping me from buying it on another console this year.

 

[def sim]

I believe he's outsourcing the console ports

Ah. Then maybe we'll see an announcement on Sony's blog soon enough.

 

[bomblord1]

Someone help me like this game. I have it on Steam and despite attempting to play it I just cannot get into it.

I adore both Harvest Moon and Rune Factory so it baffles me why I'm having trouble with this.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

I am so excited to play this game on consoles. I'm glad the port is releasing on time after things seemed a bit quiet.

 

[clockpunk]

Sweet! ^_^

 

[FrsDvl]

Nice, I've been waiting for this.

 

[shira]

The possibility of this happening is keeping me from buying it on another console this year.

Do we have the technology to do x-platform saves?

 

[alemmon]

Ah. Then maybe we'll see an announcement on Sony's blog soon enough.

Maybe we see this announced at PSX instead? Just a guess.

 

[Skiptastic]

Hot damn, I'm excited to see what all the hub bub is about.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Mobile port please.

Edit: This dev is amazing by the way.

 

[Scottish Sin]

Awesome, been waiting on this getting a release date. Can't wait to finally play it!

 

[E92 M3]

Very excited for the game and hope it comes with the latest updates.

 

[5taquitos]

I've been holding out for the console release for those sweet trophies, even though my brother's been raving about it nonstop.

Can't wait.

 

[Hexer06]

Yessss! Didn't expect it so soon. Already have it on pc and will definitely double dip for the Xbox version. This game is amazing ppl! I still can't believe one guy made this.

 

[def sim]

Maybe we see this announced at PSX instead? Just a guess.

Sure. The game deserves a spotlight.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

It's not port begging when we know it's coming already. They've been very quiet on the console ports and with the Xbox date set in stone... when for PS4? Hopefully near that date too!

Maybe we see this announced at PSX instead? Just a guess.

That would work!

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Probably other consoles as well ? It was announced for PS4 and Wii U too.

I would guess it's coming to Xbone first because it's going to be in their version of Early Access for a while?

I too would like it on Vita. Just last night I was playing Terraria on my Vita. Still a great game.

 

[BobbyColtrane]

holding out hope for a 3ds version, that's my favorite way to play Terraria.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a 3DS version. A Vita version would be easier and they didn't announce one and with the 3DS being replaced by the Switch in four months I wouldnt hope too much for it.

 

[Azlan]

Yes! Excited to try this out after all of the good things I have heard. Sounds like the perfect relaxing winter game.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Is this an early access title on the Xbox game preview or is this a full, job done release?

Seen loads of positive impressions for a while now so im interested in checking it out.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

very excited to give this a go finally.

 

[Warablo]

This isn't a timed exclusive. I believe its coming to Xb1's game preview.

 

[bronk]

I'm gonna buy it in a heartbeat when it comes to PS4.

I feel you! Its one of my most anticipated games.
