Retreat to a quieter life, now with a Game Pass sub

Announced during today’s ID@Xbox stream, farming simStardew Valleyis going on the Game Pass lineup later this fall. So if anyone out there has seriously not given it a try yet, you’re running out of excuses.

WhileStardew Valleyhas already been available on platforms like PC (via Steam) and Xbox One, this will make the farming life simulator available to everyone subbed to Game Pass.

It’s honestly hard for me to think there are folks out there whohaven’ttriedStardew Valleyyet, but if you’re one of them, here’s the gist. After your grandpa has bequeathed a farm to you, and you—being sick and tired of the rat race—decide to take up the tools and rebuild the farm.

What ensues will probably be hours upon hours of managing crops, conversing with the townsfolk, and generally getting lost in the chill vibes ofStardew Valley. Anyone who’s played aHarvest MoonorRune Factorygets the idea, but this is a gameI can pretty much recommend anyone play.

Also announced today were a slew of other titles, some also coming to Game Pass. We got a release window for sketchy adventureRPG Time: The Legend of Wright, as well as some trailers for upcoming indies that are coming to Xbox.

If you’re looking out for more indie news, tomorrow is Nintendo’s turn, as itwill be hosting an Indie World Showcase. Otherwise, if you need me, I’ll be bootingStardew Valleyback up and tending to a new farm, because I’ve really got the craving to do some farming all of the sudden.
