Stardew Valley Expanded creator reveals massive player milestone after years of support

Stardew Valley Enlarged is among the most cherished modifications for ConcernedApe’s renowned farming simulator. Debuting in 2019, this fan-crafted expansion offers an extensive upgrade to the game with six years of updates that include fresh locales, characters, happenings, items, and other enrichments.

As more updates are anticipated, along with a fresh Castle Village modification currently being developed by modder FlashShifter, it’s clear that the modding of Stardew Valley is far from over, and equally evident is the fact that players haven’t exhausted their enthusiasm for these mods.

Stardew Valley Expanded has more players than most full games 

According to a tweet from FlashShifter, it’s been discovered that approximately 3 million gamers have downloaded the Stardew Valley Expanded mod during its six-year existence.

From its initial release all the way up to the last update in December 2024, this widely-adored mod has been downloaded a staggering 3,010,332 times by distinct users on Nexus Mods. It’s important to note that these figures don’t account for those who receive the mod files from friends or as part of mod packs, so it’s likely that the actual number of players is significantly higher.

Over the past six years, it’s mind-boggling to think that I’ve personally re-downloaded Stardew Valley Expanded a staggering 15,197,325 times! That’s how much I love this game and can’t seem to keep it on my device for long.

Stardew Valley Expanded has now been enjoyed by a staggering 3 million players! FlashShifter expressed his gratitude to the fans in an online post, stating “This is truly remarkable. A heartfelt thank you to each of you for your affection and encouragement throughout the years!

Compared to other popular mods, Stardew Valley Expanded has been downloaded even more frequently than the most popular Baldur’s Gate 3 mod, Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod Fixer, and only slightly less often than the top mod for Cyberpunk 2077.

The Stardew Valley community stands out not just for its vast numbers, but for its unwavering devotion. Over time, numerous updates have only fueled an even greater affection for FlashShifter’s Expanded mod, and this community consistently extends its support not only to the game itself, but also to fellow enthusiasts.
