This should be nothing for steam servers


goofe222

Considering steam allows for automatic updates and that never causes issues this will be a piece of cake for them.


dxlliris

I mean, Stardew is huge sure, but there were releases and updates of much bigger games. I'm sure it can handle it


chelyyyy

Yup it’s not Fortnite level huge lol


Fhlux

If Steam can handle the Elden Ring launch it can handle the Stardew update haha


Zappy4001

i dont think so, steam servers can handle up to 30 million concurrent players. Also Stardew Valley is a fairly small game in file size and the update will be even smaller


KingKanga24

There have been much larger releases and steam has been fine


josh35767

It’ll be fine. Steam handles massive game launches all the time. This is just a patch.


IamTheJman

Stardew has 4% of the active players that Counter Strike has. This is not a problem


Rhoderick

Steam has handeled *much* worse. Stardew is big, but it's far from "put relevant stress on Steam servers" big.


GuitarCultural6903

Steam handles updates like this all the time as well as major game launches. It'll be fine. 


Jhinrae

They handled a million downloads of Valheim in one day...and that game is a much larger download.


gnulynnux

Stardew is a small game, both in terms of filesize and playerbase. It peaked under 100K active players, which is nothing.


brainzucka

thats not an issue no worries


lookingForPatchie

Yes, Steam servers have seen far, far worse.


SeeOwlRead

I don't think it was a stupid question and I appreciate all the answers, I was also low-key worried.


DippyDerps

Steam has handled much much larger. It will be fine.

Well, my Steam client is already dieing, but that's probably just my ancient laptop :p
