Stardew Valley's Multiplayer Update Secures PC Release Date, One Step Closer On Switch?

I'm calling out of work for 2 days.

Maybe 3.

I’m still loving the current version but I’ll gladly take more Stardew Valley content.

Forgive me because I don’t know a whole lot about the multiplayer here, but is this something where you make a separate save file just playable with multiple players or is it drop in and out?

I'll consider getting the game if there's a Switch physical. There probably is, but I don't want to go look for it right now.

@WreckItRyan That’s the question I’ve been wondering too. I think I would only like this update if the multiplayer was on a separate save file apart from single player mode.

This is not really Nintendo-related news, in my opinion.

Still holding out for the inevitable physical release.

@G-Boy Stardew Valley multiplayer is coming to the Switch.

this gobbled up a whole lot of my free time. gonna give it a spin once the update drops

Definitely looking forward to this. Put a lot of time into the single player, but you get to a point where you have a fortune of gold and everything you’ll ever need.
The best part about Stardew Valley is deciding on a goal and then working towards it at your own pace. It will be interesting to do that with other players.

Do I have to make a new save? Is there more content besides Multiplayer?

I`ve put 40 hours in but I`m waiting for more info about this update before I actually play it.. Awesome game btw

Will there be crossplay?

I'm interested in the other stuff in the update such as the Winter Market and hopefully some bugs will be fixed.

I will probably be getting this game at some point because it looks so great. I am really hoping for multiplayer on the same system so my wife and I could play together but I just have a feeling it won't be like that.

Am I the only person who finds Starview Valley weirdly stressful? I know that's the entire antithesis of the game's message (escape soulless corporate drudgery to return to the rhythms of the land), but there's also much to keep track of, and so many chances missed if you fail to do so. I simply can't let loose and go with the flow, which seems a shame...

Hoping with this update, they will release the physical edition. I haven't heard anything but feel it has to be coming.

@Maxz
I had the same feeling as soon as I got my farm to a mid-size level and started worrying about relationship levels, especially maintaining relationship levels and remembering birthdays.
Best thing to do if you’re getting stressed out is to downsize and specialize.
Animals are great but that morning grind of milking, collecting eggs, petting and shearing can be soul destroying after a while. Especially considering they aren’t that profitable even after processing to artisan stuff. (Which is even more anxiety inducing busywork)
I eventually just downsized to a pair of cows, a duck and a chicken, more as just pets to ironically name after celebrities or their corresponding food dishes
Pick a specialty and just focus on that, like beer, wine(ludicrously profitable) or something weird like coffee .
As for relationships, I just picked the few villagers I liked and then ghosted everyone else, especially Willie.
Damn Willie...

Or better yet, ignore everything I said , forget your responsibility to your family, children and grandfathers death wish and just roam around giving inappropriate gifts and rummaging through bins.
Those broken CDs will be valuable someday!
Right?
Right?!

I might want to make a whole new world for this very purpose!

Any word on if there will be cross platform multiplayer?

This is great and didn't they say that Switch will be the first console to get multiplayer? So hopefully that means it's coming soon
