Stardew Valley Cross-Platform Play: Everything You Need to Know
Are you ready to build a thriving farm with your friends in Stardew Valley? While the game is perfect for solo players, its multiplayer feature has become a fan favorite. With the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.6 Update, players can look forward to even more multiplayer fun with up to eight friends. But will this update bring cross-platform play to the game?
What's New in the Stardew Valley 1.6 Update?
The 1.6 Update is set to bring exciting changes to Stardew Valley's multiplayer feature, allowing up to eight friends to join forces and build a virtual farm together. However, fans are eagerly waiting to know if this update will finally bring cross-platform play to the game.
Can You Play Stardew Valley Cross-Platform?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. Despite the updates to multiplayer, Stardew Valley still does not support cross-platform play. This means that players can only join or create a multiplayer session with friends using the same platform.
Supported Platforms:

How Multiplayer Save Files Work in Stardew Valley
When playing multiplayer in Stardew Valley, the host's platform will store the save file. This means that the host must be present and start the game for others to join. The hosting structure also allows the host to continue playing even when others are not online.
Will We Ever Get Cross-Platform Play for Stardew Valley?
For now, it seems unlikely. Eric Barone, the sole developer of Stardew Valley, has not shared any plans for cross-platform play. As a single developer working on the project, it's possible that cross-platform play may not be a priority. However, fans can continue to follow Barone's updates on his blog and stay tuned for any future announcements.
