ConcernedApe, creator of Stardew Valley has revealed that the long awaited multiplayer mode is finally coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This news comes after the mode has been available for Nintendo Switch and PC players for quite some time now.
Nintendo Switch and PC owners of the game have been enjoying the Co-Op mode for a few months now. In the Stardew Valley multiplayer mode, players can invite friends to their game and even provide them with their own little cabin. The Co-Op mode quickly became a fans favorite way to enjoy the much popular farming-sim.
ConcernedApe has updated us on the status of the multiplayer mode for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. He says that “the update was put back into certification late last week after failing certain MP-specific platform requirements, like needing a way to access player profiles from in-game. I am praying that it passes this time which could mean a release later this week.”
Unfortunately some more work and fixes need to be completed before it can finally be approved. However, once an update reaches the certification state, it is only a matter of time when it will be available for everyone to enjoy. Erik (ConcernedApe) mentioned ” I’ll keep you updated as soon as I know anything further. Thanks for your patience everyone.”
It is likely that the Stardew Valley Console Multiplayer Mode will be released sometime this week after the changes request by Sony and Microsoft have been implemented.
The developer also teased its fans with a future update coming to Stardew Valley. The 1.4 Update will include new content for both single player and multiplayer. Erik promised to share more details about the upcoming content update once the Co-Op mode for the remaining consoles has been released.
If you want to play Stardew Valley with friends you can already do so on PC and Nintendo Switch. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are to follow in the very near future!
If you have been a long time Stardew Valley fan and seeking a new adventure, the Stardew Valley Expanded mod promises to make the game feel like new again!

Re:Legend will be available for early access in the Steam store starting on August 30th, 2019.

Developed by Magnus Games Studio, Re:Legend is an online co-op adventure game that features all the goodies we’ve come to love so much at myPotatoGames (i.e. farming, crafting, creature collection). This amazing title is going to be available to try out very soon, and we’ve got everything you need to know about being a part of the early access trial.
About Re:Legend Early Access
Magnus Games Studio has decided to partake in early access on Steam so that they may further develop their title based on feedback. Allowing for early access gives many more gamers a chance to try out the title before it is finished, without having had to back the title on Kickstarter. Magnus intends to keep the game in early access for 9-12 months, giving them ample time to test many of the games nooks and crannies.
The early access version will be a smaller and unpolished version of the finished project. It will include enough features to give the developers an idea as to what needs to change before the full game is released. The final version will include much more content and appear more graphically polished. If you add Re:Legend to your Steam wishlist now, you will get a notification when the game is ready!
