Stardew Valley's creator, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, has pledged to provide all future updates and DLC completely free of charge. Learn more about this commitment to the game's loyal fanbase.
Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, the mastermind behind Stardew Valley, has reaffirmed his dedication to providing free updates and DLC to players.
In a recent Twitter (X) post, Barone updated fans on the progress of various ports and the next PC update, acknowledging the extended development time. He mentioned his daily work on the mobile port and promised a public announcement when significant progress, such as a release date, is available.
Responding to a fan's comment about the importance of free additions, Barone emphatically stated, "I swear on the honor of my family name, I will never charge money for a DLC or update for as long as I live." This strong declaration guarantees that all future content for Stardew Valley will remain free.
Stardew Valley, a beloved farming simulator/RPG released in 2016, has consistently benefited from substantial updates enhancing gameplay and adding fresh content. The latest 1.6.9 update introduced three new festivals, multiple pet options, expanded home renovations, new outfits, enriched late-game content, and various quality-of-life improvements.
Barone's commitment may extend beyond Stardew Valley, as he's currently developing Haunted Chocolatier. However, details on this new project remain limited.
This commitment from the solo developer highlights his respect for the gaming community. Barone even challenged fans to hold him accountable, stating, "Screencap this and shame me if I ever violate this oath." This assures players of continued, cost-free engagement with the seven-year-old game.
