Stardew Valley becomes one of the best-selling games of all time

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’ at an ever-increasing rate. Just 10 months after it was announced that the game had sold 30 million copies, the farming/village sim has now shot past 40 million units.

Making the announcement on its website, Stardew Valley’s developer – ConcernedApe – revealed that “As of December 2024, Stardew Valley has sold over 41 million copies across all platforms, with over 26 million copies sold on PC, and 7.9 million copies on the Nintendo Switch.”

This makes Stardew Valley easily one of the best selling games of all time, currently sitting at number 15 – between Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit/Plus.

Given how it took Stardew 2 years to go from 20 to 30 million, it appears as though on the eve of the game’s 10th anniversary, sales have only continued to rise at an ever-increasing rate.

It will be interesting to see just how quickly the game manages to reach the exclusive 50 million club.

KitGuru says: What do you think of the game almost 10 years later? Are you one of the 40+ million? How much longer will it take to reach 50 million copies sold? Let us know down below.
