Stardew Valley has been consuming PC players with its mixture of farm-raising gameplay and retro elements. The single-player version of the game hit consoles last year and now, the folks at Chucklefish Games are exploring the game's next frontier: mobile devices.

On Tuesday, ConcernedApe announced on the Stardew Valley website that Stardew Valley is coming to iOS in just a few short weeks. The mobile port is being developed by The Secret Police, a mobile studio out of London. This will not affect work on the multiplayer update for consoles, which is being developed by the team at Sickhead Games.

The mobile version of Stardew Valley is being touted as the full version of the game, with the only differences being the game's interface being fine-tuned for touchscreen play. The game will launch with the 1.3 patch, with PC users able to transfer their save data. Mods, however, are not supported, so be careful about transferring any saves with mod data, because it could get corrupted.

The iOS version of Stardew Valley will his the App Store on October 24. An Android version is coming soon.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
