A charming new title is riding into town: Cattle Country, a cozy, Stardew Valley-like Western game, is officially set to release on May 27 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Playtonic Friends, this upcoming “cozy cowboy adventure life sim” blends the laid-back farming lifestyle of Stardew Valley with the frontier flair of Red Dead Redemption.
A Cozy Western Experience
Cattle Country takes players to Hill Valley, a pixelated frontier town full of life, community, and opportunity. In the newly released trailer, narrated by none other than Roger Clark, the voice of Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2, players get a heartfelt glimpse into the seasonal rhythms, social events, and open-ended gameplay that define the experience.
Expect activities like:
-
Farming and ranching with cattle, crops, and chickens
-
Building relationships with townsfolk—yes, romance is on the table
-
Seasonal festivals and races to keep the frontier fun going
-
Customizing your homestead as you build your cowboy legacy
From Stardew Roots to Western Roads
It’s no secret that Stardew Valley helped shape the DNA of Cattle Country. Playtonic Friends openly embraces this inspiration, while cleverly infusing the game with Western storytelling, aesthetics, and adventure. The result is a cozy yet rugged life simulation with a unique identity.
As a bonus for fans eager to get a taste before launch, a free demo of Cattle Country is available now, offering a hands-on preview of Hill Valley and its charming cast of characters.
