Stardew Valley sprouts its Switch version on October 5

Another major indie game has an imminent Switch release. The farming simulator Stardew Valley comes out for Nintendo’s home console/portable hybrid on October 5. It will cost $15.

Stardew Valley first came out for PC in February 2016. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions followed later that year. But this Switch release will be the first version of the game that you can play portably. Stardew Valley is a big indie hit. The PC version managed to sell more than 1 million copies just a couple of months after its release. Releasing on the Switch will open the simulator up to more players.
