"We jumped at the opportunity to bring Stardew Valley to our retail partners. As one of the biggest breakout digital games from 2016, we personally love the game and are pleased to be able to share it with a broader physical retail audience as we have with Terraria and Rocket League to great success." said 505 Games President, Ian Howe.

"In 2016, we helped ConcernedApe release his debut game about life on the farm. With its endearing, familiar characters and charming town, Stardew Valley quickly found a special place in the hearts of over two million players! Now we're working with 505 Games to bring Stardew Valley to retail shelves, and we believe they'll be able to produce a physical copy of the game worthy of the Stardew Valley community." said Molly Carroll, Marketing Manager at Chucklefish.
