Stardew Valley Multiplayer Update Arrives on Switch Soon

Stardew Valley is one of the most addicting video games ever made. It allows people to live a simple yet expansive live on a farm and doing various other activities to fill out your daily life. To that end, the game got so popular that it was brought to every major platform, including the Nintendo Switch, which has already sold a great amount of the title. And soon, those players will be able to game with each other, as the multiplayer content will arrive tomorrow.

This news was broken by the creator of Stardew Valley, Concerned Ape, who spoke on his blog about the update coming to Switch:

You can invite 1-3 friends to join you in the valley, either starting from scratch or diving in from an existing single player save. Each player will have their own Cabin on the farm, and you’ll be able to work together to achieve common goals such as farming, mining, fishing, foraging and festival participation!

Now, as for how the main story and the world itself will be “split up” between the co-op players, it’s actually rather simple:

The state of the Stardew Valley game world, including the main storyline, is shared between all players on the farm, as well as the pool of money you accumulate. However, each player will have their own private inventories, skills, achievements, collections, individual relationships, quests, and crafting/cooking recipes. As more hands are better than one, you may wish to change the difficulty level of your collective farm, which you can achieve by scaling the profit margins.In terms of marriage, players can choose to woo the eligible folks of Pelican Town, or craft a wedding ring to propose to a fellow player. If the other player accepts the ring, the couple becomes engaged!

Also in the update are new chat features for both vocal and text-based chat, new singleplayer content, and more. So be sure to check out the full post. The update will be available for all regions on the Nintendo eShop.
