Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, the latest installment in Marvelous Inc.'s beloved farming simulation franchise, has officially crossed the impressive benchmark of 500,000 copies sold worldwide.

This announcement showcases the enduring popularity of cozy games, especially on platforms like the Nintendo Switch and PC, where the genre continues to flourish.

Originally known as the Harvest Moon series in the West, Story of Seasons is often credited with laying the foundation for the cozy farming simulation genre that has since inspired numerous acclaimed titles.

Grand Bazaar is a faithful remake of the classic Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar, refreshed for modern audiences but still retaining the charm and mechanics that made the original a favorite among fans. Released less than three weeks ago across the Nintendo Switch eShop and PC, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar has resonated strongly with both longtime fans and newcomers.

Thank you so much to everyone for playing and supporting—we are deeply grateful for the enthusiastic response and love for Grand Bazaar.' Alongside this message, special commemorative artwork by renowned series artist Igusa Matsuyama was released, highlighting the franchise’s distinctive visual tradition. The quick achievement of this sales milestone is a testament to both the strength of the Story of Seasons brand and the ever-growing demand for cozy games in the current video game landscape.

Despite increasing competition from newer indie marvels like Stardew Valley and established favorites such as Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons remains a cornerstone of the genre, successfully reintroducing its roots to a new generation of players. Developed by Marvelous and published for both Nintendo Switch and PC, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar continues to receive praise for its engaging gameplay loop, charming art direction, and accessible mechanics.

Fans looking for their next relaxing adventure this fall are encouraged to experience the world of Zephyr Town through this acclaimed remake—available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop and PC digital storefronts. As the cozy games genre continues to evolve, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the classics, cementing its place alongside the top-selling titles in its category.
