Stardew Valley is heading to Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s Netflix-style game subscription service, on Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, and Windows 10 PCs. The announcement came via the latest storefront / twitchgaming ID @ Xbox, a live event dedicated to independent developers on the Xbox platform.

Stardew Valley is slated for release on Xbox Game Pass later this year, although an official date is yet to be determined. Developer Eric Barone, better known as ConcernedApe, said the title is expected to hit the library “this fall”.

While Stardew Valley first launched in early 2016, the title has retained a passionate following for its slow-paced role-playing sandbox. It sees players inheriting a farm, growing crops, raising animals, and more throughout their time in the game. PC success has gradually spread to consoles and mobiles over time, surpassing the 10 million copies sold.

Stardew Valley joins the hundreds of titles currently available through Xbox Game Pass, with subscriptions starting at $ 10 for its Xbox console and respective PC services. The subscription grants access to all the best Xbox Game Pass games, as well as upcoming blockbusters like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. Microsoft is also offering an all-inclusive Xbox Game Pass Ultimate level, bundling Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Live Gold, EA Play and cloud streaming, for $ 15 per month.
