If anything, it sounds like it was entirely the opposite. The reason, he explained, is that finally finishing and releasing Stardew Valley did not afford him the opportunity to slow down. 'Yet, at the same time, it’s been the longest year of my life.' 'In some ways, it’s hard to believe that an entire year has already gone by since launch,' he wrote. To mark the one-year anniversary of his life-in-the-countryside hit Stardew Valley, creator Eric Barone posted some ' really old screenshots' of the game that he's kept lying around on his PC, and reflected on life before and after its release. I've reached out to clarify whether or not PC multiplayer will come along at the same time as the Switch release, and will update this article if I hear back. We’ll let you know more as soon as we can. It’s not ready yet, though, and we can’t give you an idea of when it will be. The last we heard about multiplayer was on February 7, when Barone wrote: 'All we can say is that we’re working on and making progress. As 'first' is qualified with 'console,' the multiplayer update could come to PC at the same time, or even earlier-though nothing about it has been announced explicitly. Nintendo announced today that the Switch will be the 'first console' to have Stardew Valley multiplayer when it releases for the system this summer. So we've known for a while that multiplayer is coming to Stardew Valley-officially, that is-and today it's been revealed that the big patch may be coming this summer.

The original, now out of date, story is below.Įric Barone released Stardew Valley as a singleplayer game, but only because multiplayer support wasn't finished yet. Sorry to dash any hopes-it's my fault for misunderstanding the Nintendo announcement to mean that the Switch launch this summer would include multiplayer. 'It'll take some more time to get multiplayer where we want it to be!' 'PC users will still get to check out Stardew Valley multiplayer first,' says Chucklefish's Molly Carroll, but that update won't be ready in time for summer, either. Update: A Chucklefish representative tells me that multiplayer won't ship with the Switch version of Stardew Valley that's releasing this summer.
