Stardew Valley, the wonderful game that combines a farming simulator with RPG mechanics, will officially be released on Xbox Game Pass in Fall 2021.
Revealed during today's /twitchgaming Showcase: ID@Xbox stream, Stardew Valley is just one of the many new games headed to Xbox Game Pass alongside Aragami 2, Evil Genius 2, and Pupparazzi.
Stardew Valley was originally released on PC in 2016, and in our updated review in 2018, we said, "Stardew Valley is a beautiful, fun game that, when all of its parts are pulled together, make for a wonderful countryside adventure. Whether it’s rainy, sunny, snowy, or dusted with pollen drifts through the air, each day offers an abundance of great activities ready to be collected or mastered and new friendships waiting to be made."
The game, which is heavily inspired by Harvest Moon, was released on PS4 and Xbox One later in 2016 and since has been released on Switch, Vita, iOS, and Android.
This announcement was just one of the many at today's /twitchgaming Showcase: ID@Xbox stream that also shared new looks at such games as Lightyear Frontier, Sam & Max Save the World Remastered, OlliOlli World, and much more.
