Stardew Valley on Switch, But 2

ConcernedApe surprised fans with an early Christmas present by releasing the Switch 2 version of Stardew Valley! You can download it immediately from the Nintendo eShop. If you already have Stardew Valley on Switch, the update is available as a free download.

I’m so excited about the new update! Now you can finally play with a mouse, which is awesome. But the best part? You can play with friends!
