Fans of the indie hit Stardew Valley will finally be able to get their hands on a physical version of the game for Switch later this year.
Stardew Valley solo developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone teased that the beloved role-playing farm simulator might get a physical release on Switch earlier this year. Until now, physical Switch copies of the game were only available in Japan. This is not the first time the game will get a physical release outside of Japan, however. Physical copies of Stardew Valley have already released for Xbox One and PS4 in the United States.
Starting November 6, Switch fans will finally be able to get their hands on a physical copy of the game as well. There will be two physical versions of the game – a standard edition and a Collector’s edition.
The latter is exclusively available through Fangamer.com and comes with a wooden standee, a wooden lapel pin, a 14-page comic, a deed to your farm with gold-foiled details, and a Collector’s box featuring special artwork. The Standard edition will also come with a few accessories, including a miniature illustrated guidebook and reversible cover art with an alternate design.
There are few indie games that have seen as much success as Stardew Valley. The game was first released for Windows in 2016, but its wide-spread popularity launched it to consoles and mobile devices in the years after. At the beginning of 2020, Barone announced that Stardew Valley had sold more than 10 million copies. The developer is currently working on other games set in the Stardew Valley universe.
Stardew Valley is available on PC, MacOS, Linux, IOS, Android, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
