However, before you decide to hop into the beta branch and give multiplayer a whirl, be sure to back up your saved data before you apply the beta branch. But you may be less happy to find that only the GoG and Steam versions of Stardew Valley can be played multiplayer at this time. You may be happy to know that this newest patch comes with the ability to marry other players in-game, which can be done using a Wedding Ring. Each player on a server has their own cabin and inventory, and they can do pretty much all the same things the host player can do. ConcernedApe also revealed that new content would be coming to the single-player mode soon and that multiplayer mode will also head to consoles, but the Nintendo Switch will get it first.The game's multiplayer works just like much of the playerbase had hoped.

You can check out the full patch notes on Steam. However, only the host player can pause the game, and sleeping would require all players to say Yes to a dialog box for the day to officially end. Furthermore, ConcernedApe revealed that players could marry each other. The new co-op mode will also give players the option to choose whether you want your friends on Steam to join, or if you’re a bit picky and would like your farm to be strictly by invitation only, which would require players to input an invite code to join the server. However, inventory, skills, and relationships with the villagers will be kept separate. All three players will share the farm, money, and world updates. The good thing about this is that Cabins are not that expensive, so it's easy to have your friends with you early in the game. Of course, your friends will need a place to stay in so there is an option to build them cabins or use pre-built ones. The multiplayer mode of Stardew Valley allows players to have up to three friends living on their farm. As always, it is better to back up your game first before downloading the beta, as advised by ConcernedApe in Steam. Once done properly, players should be able to access the Beta in a drop-down box, which will automatically prompt the game to download version 1.3. In there, you’ll find the Betas tab and type the password “jumpingjunimos” and click the Check Code button.

Developer ConcernedApe just announced that a PC beta of the co-op mode for Stardew Valley is now live and can be accessed by fans via Steam by doing the following steps:įirst, players can enable the new beta by right-clicking on the game in your library and select Properties.
