I already own the game on Steam and on iOS, but this is an amazing one to have for Apple Arcade!

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi 2 points 2 years ago

A similar case here. Own it on Steam and iOS. Owned it on Android before I moved to iOS.

I know this game is not for everyone but it’s arrival on Apple Arcade will allow more people to at least try the game once.

Stardew Valley is a great game. Glad to see this arriving on Apple Arcade.

Will the game still be available as a separate purchase?

[–] ainen 6 points 2 years ago

I don’t think there have been many, if any, apps that have been added to Apple Arcade and removed from the App Store for purchase.

[–] tastypoobutt 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's a good question. I don't see it as necessary for it to be taken down—it still adds to the value proposition for Arcade even if it's available as a once-off purchase.

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi 1 points 2 years ago

Ah. Got it. I assumed Apple might want to have some sort of exclusivity for Arcade to draw in more subscribers.

[–] toxic 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can already buy the game in the AppStore.

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, we can. I already purchased it around two years ago.

My question was whether it will remain available for purchase after it arrives on Apple Arcade. The answers from others indicate that it will be available as a separate purchase as well.

[–] Marcy_Stella 2 points 2 years ago

The Apple Arcade version is a seperate app meanwhile the paid version will remain available, it seems like the only difference is that diagnostics data isn’t collected in the Apple Arcade version

This next round of Apple Arcade games looks really great. Especially with Hello Kitty Island adventure.

[–] nostalgicgamerz 3 points 2 years ago

Butters Stotch is stoked

[–] Boiglenoight 4 points 2 years ago

Heck yeah. Great game for that.

[–] generalpotato 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice!! I can finally check this out. Have heard nothing but good things! Need something chill to play.

[–] RoyalEngineering 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's very relaxing! Except the mines!

[–] generalpotato 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There’s mines? Never heard of them before.
