How to Play Stardew Valley Multiplayer on Mobile

by

Previously, multiplayer functionality was a key aspect of Stardew Valley on PC and console platforms, but it remained absent from mobile versions. However, this has now changed as the feature was initially introduced in 2018, two years following the game’s release. With the recent 1.6.9 update, multiplayer is finally accessible on mobile devices. This means you can extend invitations to your friends to join and collaborate on your farm, making the experience even more enjoyable together.

The multiplayer aspect of Stardew Valley’s mobile version is impressive, yet it’s not immediately accessible. Fret not, as configuring it is straightforward! However, remember that this is an experimental feature, so you might encounter a few glitches along the way. In this article, we delve into all you need to understand about the multiplayer mode in Stardew Valley mobile.

How to Play Multiplayer on Mobile in Stardew Valley

Activating the multiplayer mode on your mobile device is straightforward. Navigate to the main screen of the game where you’ll find clusters of leaves. To turn it on, simply tap these leaves sequentially as follows:

  • Up
  • Up
  • Down
  • Down
  • Left
  • Right
  • Left
  • Right

Once you’ve tapped the leaves in the previously mentioned sequence, Stardew Valley players should then tap the ‘?’ symbol located at the screen’s bottom. Doing so will reveal another menu. After closing this menu, you’ll notice that the Co-op option has appeared.

How to Host or Join a Friend’s Farm in Stardew Valley

When you click on the Co-op feature, you’ll encounter two possibilities. You can either start a game yourself or choose to join someone else’s. Remember that this mode is exclusively designed for Local Area Network (LAN) play, so players must be connected to the same network, such as sharing the same Wi-Fi connection.

Individuals wanting to participate in their friend’s game farm should input the host’s IP address. To do this, select ‘Join’, type your friend’s IP address, and click the checkmark symbol beside the box for confirmation. Conversely, if you are hosting, make sure to share your own IP address so others can join your game.

Previously discussed, this new aspect is currently in its trial stage, which means you might encounter a few glitches. If the game appears slow, try closing any heavy applications running in the background. Ensure that you and your friends are playing the same version of the game to ensure smooth multiplayer functionality. You can check your game’s version by clicking on the question mark icon.
