In a tweet authored on Barone Concerned Ape handle, he said ‘The Stardew Valley multiplayer update for Nintendo Switch is now in QA. Will let you all know ASAP when more concrete info becomes available!’

Fans were somewhat perplexed by the announcement and requested clarification, to which Barone added ‘Sorry, should’ve been more clear.

Fortunately, the Stardew Valley Switch port isn’t being exclusively handled by Barone with a big helping hand from publisher Chucklefish meaning testing should be completed relatively quickly, subject to the team not uncovering a minefield of issues, though no firm date was provided. As for whether the Switch port will require a Switch Online subscription is yet to be confirmed though the chances are highly likely given only a few select titles don’t require it.

Next in line should be a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of the update though given how long it has taken for Stardew Valley multiplayer to launch on PC and Switch, we won’t be holding our breath. Yet, for an update so damn good, we can wait as long as it takes.
