Stardew Valley has sold 15 million copies in five years

The country-life role-playing game Stardew Valley has sold more than 15 million copies. Developer ConcernedApe has announced this. The milestone comes five years after the game’s release, in February 2016.

Collectively, more than fifteen million copies of the game have been sold since its release in 2016, the developer writes in a subordinate clause on its website. That message was picked up by the Game Developer website. At the beginning of 2020, the counter was still at 10 million copies and six million six months earlier. Stardew Valley was released for PC in February 2016. More than a million copies had been sold in two months. Releases for Mac and Linux followed a few months later, at the end of 2016 for the Xbox One and PS4, in 2017 for the Nintendo Switch, in 2018 for iOS and since the end of 2019 the game can also be played on the screen in Tesla’s.

The game was developed by developer Eric Barone, under the alias ConcernedApe. It took the developer four years. Since its release, there have been five major updates to the game, including new environments, the ability to marry, support for more languages, and support for multiplayer. Since the fourth update, Barone has employed a team of developers.

On Monday it was announced that developer Eric Barone is working on a new, as yet unannounced game. He said so in an interview with Twitch streamer Zach Hartman. He also said in that conversation that he is not sure if there will be any new updates for Stardew Valley. The last update of the game came out late last year and the developer is not currently working on another major update. The new title that Barone is working on will once again be a pixel art game with a top-down perspective, but beyond that information, the developer didn’t reveal anything about the new game.
