Stardew Valley developer Eric Barone has been working on implementing multiplayer for some time now, and it looks like a breakthrough is close. In a tweet from the Barone's official account, multiplayer should be ready "in about a month" if all goes to plan. However, this is referring to the PC version of the game.
When it comes to PlayStation 4, we could be waiting a while longer. Replying to fans, the developer reiterates that the free multiplayer update will eventually land on all platforms, but the current timetable for Sony's console is up in the air. You'll just have to be patient, we suppose.

Stardew Valley in multiplayer sounds great, to be honest. I'll definitely give it a try once it lands.
I remember this was announced as coming to PC and Switch first, then it jever showed up.
I forgot the update was even planned to be honest. Apparently the game had to basically be redesigned.
Sounds great!
@YummyHappyPills They've been working on it for ages it seems. I hardly doubt it'll be worth the trouble. I would have much rather just have more content for the game.
Surely this will just end up with people wrecking each other's farms?
Vita version still this year?
@ShogunRok Do we even know of the Multiplayer will be online only, split screen or hopefully both?
@SoulChimera Haven't heard anything more about it since the end of last year, but hopefully it is.
@Tasuki I'm not 100% but I think it's local and online? Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
@Tasuki Scratch that, I've just been informed it's online only.
@SoulChimera Would love it if this ended up on Vita. Perfect for that platform I'd think. May even inspire me to buy one!
Stardew Valley was one of those games I made a bold prediction about getting the platinum in that never panned out because well really I just couldn't bothered. I played it for a bit and I was like oh yeah farming but then the townspeople were always wanting me to do things and I was like SOMEONE NEEDS TO TEND THE CROPS. Farming is serious business man. I don't have time for a get together.
@ShogunRok Ah man that sucks. My son and I were hoping it would be both. Thanks for the info.
I really don't care for the multiplayer patch, I really want the new single player content that is supposed to come with it. Would have been nice if it came before as a seperate patch.
@ShogunRok Aww, too bad. Was hoping for a one screen couch coop thing. Kinda like Diablo 3.
@TheFatDelinquent Yeah, it'd be nice!
