Stardew Valley tops Steam’s all-time charts nine years after launch

Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone’s indie farming sim has just been crowned Steam’s highest-rated game ever on Steam250, knocking Portal 2 off its 14-year throne. With an 8.87 score and 98% positive reviews from nearly 900,000 votes, Stardew Valley’s charm and cosy-game influence are still going strong—even without official updates, thanks to a passionate modding community.

Portal 2 now sits second (99% positive, 436K votes) and Terraria’s third (97%, 1.4M votes), but rankings shift constantly. For now, Barone’s pixelated farm life is the undisputed crowd favorite—deservedly so.
