The last time we heard about Stardew Valley, was when the PC version finally secured a release date for the highly anticipated multiplayer update on 1st August.
Fast forward to October, and owners of the Switch version are still waiting on the update. For anyone wondering what's going on with the Nintendo release, creator Eric Barone - better known as ConcernedApe - has now published a tweet, revealing the multiplayer for this platform is in the bug testing and crash stages:
Although there's no date provided, it's reassuring to know the update has reached the final stages of this particular phase.
Multiplayer allows three other people to work alongside you. Players can join in on pretty much everything and each person has their own cabin to hang out in. You can even get married to a fellow player. To find out more about the multiplayer update, take a look at the official website notes.

Preparing to no life soon.
My kids are dying for this
So does anyone know if you can visit other towns or if it's only for those in the same town? I mean, Stardew Valley is just what I need to scratch this Animal Crossing itch I've had for awhile. And if anyone mentions "Pocket Camp," so help me...
Local coop is what I want in this game, or in upcoming Animal Crossing, not interested in an online multiplayer at all.
Will it be crossplay with PC? Is it even online multiplayer or just local?
I would buy this it there was any sort of couch/local co-op
i don't care about stardew valley
@DigiF4N why are you on this article buddy
@DigiF4N and no i don't want to be a game designer, i already finished college with a digital animation certificate but i'm no longer interested in pursuing in that field
@Mew sorry i shouldn't have done that i'm just trying to pass time with my beyblades and i feel like i'm being watched
Of a father of 3 girls. This makes me really happy.. my girls love this game. But i have not bought it due to single player only experience. Now we all can share the fun. Thank you so much nintendo switch. (Now give me mischeif makers haha)
For some reason the thumbnail reminded me of Terraria
@DigiF4N ????????
About time!
Haven't really been playing stardew valley all that much lately. With all the other good stuff coming out in the coming months I'm not sure this has enough appeal for me to dive back in. Nice touch though adding it.
Maybe this will be the thing that finally gets me into this game. I want to like it I really do. I am usually open to trying new things and have found lots of enjoyment in many genres but for some reason this game hasn’t hooked me.
Nice!
It's nice when we get free stuff like this.
Now I have to come out to my friends as one of the biggest Stardew Valley fans ever and find someone to share a farm with. No friends of mine who play this game, unfortunately.
Wasn’t it supposed to premiere on Switch first?
@brandonbwii .... no?
No couch co-op?
Oh I am looking forward to this. Even though I really have no time for it. lol
Will you be able to play co-op on a single switch? I have 2 controllers but only one Switch
I wish this game would receive more content packs or something. Expand the game world and whatnot.
Any news on a physical version?
Glad multiplayer is being ported to the switch. Wanted to buy this before but it was a no go without multiplayer
Any chance that the Switch port Mulitplayer will use Switch online
@uhhhhhhhh mine too
@brandonbwii I too raised this question - as I remember them saying it’ll hit the Switch first but I believe the promise was that it’s the first console to get it. So before PS4 and Xbox.
@DigiF4N Let us know if you need medical aid
@CaptChaos I wonder if that will still be the case?
PLEASE!! Let us know when/if a date has come out for this multiplayer on the switch!! LOVE the game!!
