Stardew Valley's creator, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, has pledged to provide all future DLC and updates completely free of charge. This commitment ensures continued support for the beloved farming simulator without additional cost to players.
In a recent Twitter (X) post, Barone updated fans on the progress of Stardew Valley's ongoing ports and PC updates, acknowledging the extended development time. He also reiterated his commitment to keeping all future additions free. A fan's comment about the importance of free content prompted Barone's emphatic response: a sworn promise to never charge for DLC or updates.
This assurance solidifies Barone's dedication to his loyal fanbase. The 2016 release has seen consistent, significant updates, enriching gameplay with new features and content. The recent 1.6.9 update, for instance, introduced three new festivals, multiple pet options, expanded home renovations, fresh outfits, enhanced late-game content, and numerous quality-of-life improvements.
Barone's generosity may extend beyond Stardew Valley. While details remain scarce, he's currently working on a new game, Haunted Chocolatier. Further announcements regarding this project are anticipated.
Barone's actions demonstrate a remarkable level of respect and appreciation for his community. His public vow, even including a challenge to hold him accountable, underscores his dedication to providing ongoing, valuable content to Stardew Valley players at no extra cost – a testament to his commitment to a game that continues to thrive seven years after its initial release.
