As fans eagerly await the release of ConcernedApe’s new game – Haunted Chocolatier – many are continuing to purchase and play the indie studio’s previous title: Stardew Valley. Having released back in 2016, the farming game has only continued to get better and better – with the release date for its upcoming 1.6 update coinciding with the announcement that the game has now sold 30 million copies.
Making the announcement on its website, Stardew Valley’s developer – ConcernedApe – revealed that “As of February 2024, Stardew Valley has sold over 30 million copies across all platforms, with over 19 million copies sold on PC alone.”
This makes Stardew Valley easily one of the best selling games of all time, currently sharing its position with Diablo III and 2019’s Modern Warfare reboot.
Interestingly, Stardew Valley reached 20 million copies sold back in May of 2022, meaning it has shifted an additional 10 million units in less than two years.
With update 1.6 set to arrive on the 19th of March, it will be interesting to see just how long the game will continue to sell for – and whether we will be reporting on its next major milestone even sooner than expected.
