Immensely popular farming-and-life simulator Stardew Valley has now officially got multiplayer on PC, over two years since it was released.

Stardew Valley Multiplayer Now Available In Update 1.3

Very rarely do we cover single-player or non-competitive titles, but Stardew Valley is an incredibly popular game that has sold millions of copies across PC and consoles. You play as someone tired of the boring 9-5 life in the city, so you pack up your things and move to your late grandfather’s farm. From there, you grow crops, make friends with the townsfolk, purchase animals, fish, mine, gather resources and so much more. It’s a friendly game with little violence, unlike most of what we cover.

As of today, you can officially experience Stardew Valley with friends. Up to four players can roam around, with the same ultimate goal as in the single-player: earn money. If you’d like, you can get Robin (the village carpenter) to build some extra cabins on your land and that way, a single-player farm can be converted into a multiplayer one.

On top of the multiplayer, there’s a few other notable additions to the game. A traveling festival now appears for three days during winter, a new collection type may appear during a special wintery event, new character events are available, you can craft signs and decorations, and most importantly, you can make your horse wear a hat.

Unfortunately, this update is for PC only, but in the official announcement, ConcernedApe has confirmed the console versions are in development and will be coming soon. Happy farming, everyone!
