Stardew Valley for Android and iOS is receiving a new update that brings a lot of new features to the game, including new farm types, a new “Desert Festival,” additional crops, new Easter eggs, some new items in the store, and much more. brings. The interesting thing is that a secret multiplayer mode is coming to Android and iOS platforms with Stardew Valley v1.6.9. Let us remind you that this mode is already available in desktop and console versions.
With the new update, Stardew Valley players on Android and iOS can join a new multiplayer session to farm and work together with friends. Add a picture on the blog explained in detail. The company did not neglect to explain the reasons why the multiplayer mode is hidden:
“1. Since it is an experimental feature, it may still have some bugs or issues. 2. The nature of the mobile platform can make a multiplayer session frustrating in certain scenarios.”
The multiplayer mode in the mobile version of the game works a little differently. The mode works over IP, so you have to manually enter the IP address for the game you want to join. In this sense, the mode is very suitable for local networks.
Mobile multiplayer works much the same as on other platforms, but without the farm “exploration” ability. Although you can only connect over IP, you can join a PC-hosted farm over IP from a mobile device.
Since multiplayer mode is a hidden feature, it is not available on the game’s opening screen and must be enabled manually. If you want to access the multiplayer mode, you need to launch the Stardew Valley game on your phone and enter a secret code on the title screen using the leaves around the “Stardew Valley” logo.
Players need to press each leaf in a specific order, that is, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, and finally press the “?” in the bottom right corner. needs to press the button. We cannot help but say that this choice is a bit exaggerated.
After that, the “Co-op” button appears similar to other platforms, and you have two options: Host (to host a multiplayer session) and Join (to join an already created multiplayer session). To join the game, all you have to do is enter your IP address.
For the first time on iOS, players will receive “a prompt asking for permission to find and connect to other devices on the network.” To do this, you need to press the “Allow” button and then connect to the IP address.
