The developer of Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe, has promised a PlayStation Vita version of its beloved farming simulator for what feels like an eternity, but the game's designer, Eric Barone, has suddenly announced a release date for the port - and it's not a long wait at all. The Vita version will launch on the 22nd May, which is just a week from now.
What's more, it'll feature Cross-Buy with the PS4 edition, so if you've already purchased the game on your home console, you'll be able to download the portable version at no extra cost.
Here's a quick primer for anyone who's yet to play the game: "In Stardew Valley, you inherit your grandfather’s old farm, and armed with some hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new country life! You might find yourself growing crops and raising animals to live off the land, descending the mines and taking on its monster inhabitants, mingling with the townsfolk or visiting the beach for some relaxing night-time fishing."
Will you be ploughing more hours into Stardew Valley on Vita? Sow the seeds of conversation in the comments below.

So, no news on the coming update unfortunately
Great stuff. It's been a while since I've played it so I'll be defo downloading it to the small screen. Cracking game with cracking music.
Uh oh...if my wife finds out about this, she'll take my PSVita!!! LMAO
Cross-buy is always a nice gesture. Thanks, devs!
I kinda wish it was Cross-Save too, but never mind. Tempted to download it on Vita and make a fresh start.
Only digital i presume?
No Port begging
Anyways i just grabbed the Ps4 version for $8 or something during the totally digital sale i need to start it
I guess I'll dust off the old dust collector...
@viciousarcanum A physical edition isn't totally out of the question (the PS4 version is available on disc) but I'd imagine this will be a digital only release.
@ShadowWarrior Who's port.begging?
Amazing news. Been waiting for this for so long it will be perfect on vita
Just bought the game on PSN in preparation. It is half price until Wednesday for those interested
Yay, im super excited. Love Stardew valley, i swear i only play for an hour and 6 have actually passed.
But but... Vita is dead!
@Rob_230 I know a sweet deal when I see it. Thanks for the heads up! Getting this straight away.
@JJ-Firl Any time
@Rob_230 Is it only half price in EU psn?
Playstation Plus! Vita makes it even more possible. I like how it lets me try games out risk free or stuff I end up loving but would otherwise overlook.
@Cloud7794 i think that might be the case unfortunately. It is currently part of the digital sale in Europe. I am sure it will be on sale in other regions soon though - definitely seen the game for sale on the us store before.
@JoeBlogs Nothing has been said about Cross-Save, so presumably it isn't happening. I've asked the developer to clarify; if I hear anything, I'll update the article.
I bought it 7 months ago, then I heard it was coming out for the ps vita... I didin't played it so I wouldn't lose my save, this is definitely a vita game can't wait 😊
