I play Starfield in China.

Hi everyone!
I’ve been playing Stardew Valley for a while now, and recently I started playing it while living in China. Most days I play around 1–2 hours, mainly focusing on farming, fishing, and just enjoying the calm pace of the game. I’m currently in Year 2, and Stardew Valley has become one of my favorite ways to relax after work.


Since I’m living in China, I wanted my in-game experience to feel a bit more natural, so I decided to use a Chinese name in Stardew Valley instead of my English one. I created the name on https://chinesenamehub.com/, read through the meanings and pronunciation, and then directly used that name in the game. It’s a small detail, but it actually made the game feel more immersive, especially when talking to villagers and seeing the name appear in events and dialogues.


I’m just curious if anyone else here is also playing Stardew Valley in China, or if you’ve ever tried using a different language or cultural style for your in-game name. If you’re playing casually, experimenting with farm layouts, or just enjoying the peaceful vibe of the game, feel free to reply

I personally play this game pretty casually but I hate just relaxing. Makes me think I'm wasting time even game. Also I never used any cultural names for my character but can be a good idea.

Hi I am a Chinese native whereas I play the Stardew Valley in English
If you have anything curious about Chinese language or culture, don't hesitate to chat with me.

Completely opposite side of the world, but I have friends who play and enjoy the game in China, both that I've met online and in person, not sure if it's affected the way they play/call themselves in game or if they play differently, though, I'll have to ask

I'm a lot closer to China in terms of geography but I'm pretty sure where someone is from doesn't affect how they play the game. Where I'm from definitely doesn't affect how I play the game.

I had no idea this game was available in China
