Stardew Valley players on Nintendo Switch 2 get a free upgrade

Valley of Stars is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Fans of the farm life simulator, especially those who already own it for the Nintendo Switch 2, can download a free update which introduces new features and multiplayer modes. However, fans have reported some bugs following the free release, and Eric Barone, the game’s developer better known as ConcernedApe, is working on fixes.

If you have Stardew Valley On the Switch 2, you can download the upgrade pack which introduces mouse controls to make it easier to place furniture and organize your inventory. The upgrade also adds local split-screen co-op for up to four players and online multiplayer for up to eight players. In addition to co-op modes, the free content pack includes Game Share compatibility, meaning only one player needs a copy of Valley of Stars to share it with three others.

This upgrade pack may not have as much content as a numbered update, but some players are already reporting bugs. According to user accounts, online multiplayer does not work, while other reports noted that some crafting recipes had inaccurate material requirements or quantities. In a post onBarone said he takes “full responsibility for this error” and that the development team will “fix this issue as soon as possible.” In addition to fixing bugs from the latest upgrade pack, Barone and the rest of the development team are also working on the next upgrade pack. Update 1.7 For Valley of Starswhile Haunted Chocolatier is still in development.
