Stardew Valley has left the quiet countryside and rocketed straight into space. Instead of watering crops and petting cows, you can now show your love for the classic farming sim while running for your life in Among Us.
This new crossover brings a full bundle of Stardew themed cosmetics to Among Us, giving you way more options than the usual sprout hat. If you have ever wanted to run around a spaceship dressed like Abigail or followed by a tiny Junimo, this is your moment.
What is the Stardew Valley Cosmicube
Among Us uses something called a Cosmicube system for its cosmetic bundles. Think of a Cosmicube as a themed prize board. You buy the cube with in game currency, then unlock each cosmetic inside it as you play matches.
The Stardew Valley Cosmicube comes with 29 items inspired by Pelican Town and its residents. These are cosmetics only, so they will not change gameplay. They will just make you look extremely cool as you betray your friends in space.
Here are some of the highlights you can expect:
- Krobus pet that follows your little bean around
- Junimo pet for maximum wholesome chaos
- Mayor Lewis outfit so you can look weirdly official while venting
- Linus style outfit if you want to represent the local wilderness expert
- Cosplay options for fan favorites like Abigail, Sebastian and the mysterious Mr Qi
The idea is that no matter which Stardew character you are obsessed with, there is probably a look that lines up with your favorite. It is like bringing your entire Pelican Town wardrobe into deep space.
How to get the Stardew Valley Cosmicube
The good news is that you do not need real world cash just to join the crossover. The Stardew Valley Cosmicube is bought with Beans, which are Among Us in game currency.
Here is how it works in simple steps:
- Play Among Us matches to earn Beans
- Spend 3300 Beans to buy the Stardew Valley Cosmicube
- Keep playing games to unlock the items inside the cube
- Equip your new Stardew themed cosmetics and start flexing on your lobby
The price is 3300 Beans, which is a solid chunk if you are new or returning after a break. The catch is that you only earn currency when you stay in matches until they are done. If you rage quit the second you get ejected, you are slowing down your grind.
Two details to keep in mind while you are farming Beans:
- You must finish games to get your full Bean payout
- You earn more Beans for winning than for just surviving
So if you want that Krobus pet fast, do not bail on the lobby just because someone caught you venting on cams. Stick it out, try to win, and your Bean count will climb a lot quicker.
Fast ways to farm Beans before the collab ends
If you want the Stardew Valley Cosmicube without spending all week in lobbies, there are some simple ways to speed up the grind.
Among Us has different modes, and some are much quicker to finish than classic matches. That makes a big difference when you are focused on currency instead of long investigations.
The standout option for Bean farming is Hide and Seek. These games are shorter and more chaotic, which means:
- Matches wrap up faster than standard games
- You can complete more rounds in the same amount of time
- More completed games equals more Beans overall
On top of that, playing with friends can boost your win rate since you can coordinate strategies and settings. More wins equals more Beans per game, which is exactly what you want when you are eyeing that 3300 Bean price tag.
If you are a lapsed player who mainly loved Stardew Valley, this collab can also be a fun reason to convince your friends to hop into Among Us again. You have plenty of time to ease them in, then slowly drag them into full time Bean farming duty.
The collab is not permanent though. The Stardew Valley Cosmicube will only be available until February 18, 2026. That gives you a pretty generous window to grind out the currency and unlock everything, so there is no need to sprint from day one. Just do not forget about it and come back in 2027.
Overall this crossover is a surprisingly perfect fit. Stardew Valley brings chill cozy vibes, Among Us brings pure paranoia, and the result is a strange mix that somehow works. Whether you are dressing up as your favorite villager or just want a Junimo floating behind you while you fake tasks, it is a fun excuse to jump back into the game and cause a little interstellar trouble.
