Smash hit indie farming sim Stardew Valley is somehow continuing its meteoric ascent despite the fact that it's almost nine years old, at least if its latest sales figures are anything to go by.
Over on the official Stardew Valley site's press portal, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone says that the game has managed to shift a staggering 41 million copies "as of December 2024".
According to Barone, more than 26 million of those copies have been sold on PC alone, while 7.9 million copies have been sold on the Nintendo Switch. The game's success being primarily PC-based makes a lot of sense given that that's the first platform on which it was released.
It didn't take Stardew Valley very long to begin its journey to success. Just a couple of months after the game's initial launch, it had crossed a million sales, hitting 3.5 million players on Steam alone in January 2018.
Even on mobile platforms, where free-to-play games reign supreme and upfront paid products often struggle, Stardew Valley managed to rake in $1 million in sales on iOS within just a few weeks of its launch on the app store.
It's clear that Stardew Valley has struck a chord...
