Do you have someone else to play Stardew Valley with? If yes, then you should know if Stardew Valley is a cross-platform game!
As a game that received overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam, it’s easy to get addicted to the cozy farm-building mechanics of Stardew Valley. Despite being almost a decade old, the game still holds a large player base which is quite rare to see for older titles nowadays.
In Stardew Valley, you get to play as a new villager in Pelican Town after your grandfather bequeathed you an old farm. Your goals are simple: Manage your newly acquired property, collect various resources, and socialize with your villagers.
Stardew Valley’s co-op feature allows you to play multiplayer modes by either creating a world as a host or joining a host as a farmhand.

Yes, Stardew Valley is a cross-platform game. It is currently available on various devices, namely:
- Windows
- Android
- iOS
- PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4
- Linus
- macOS

Does Stardew Valley support crossplay co-op?
Yes, but with lots of limitations. Stardew Valley finally received an update that allowed PC and Android/iOS users to play co-op via the local network. This feature is still under development, so you may encounter bugs in-game.
To play co-op on PC and mobile, we recommend the PC user serve as the host by sharing their IP address with the mobile user.
Other than PC and mobile, Stardew Valley doesn't support other combinations of crossplay experience, specifically on all consoles, even if one of the users plays on PC or mobile.
Below are some examples of commonly asked platform combinations that currently don’t support co-op play in Stardew Valley:
- Xbox and PC
- Xbox and PS4
- Switch and PC
- PS4 and PC
- Xbox and Nintendo Switch
Is there a chance that this game will become completely cross play-compatible?
No, not right now. ConcernedApe once shared that “technical barriers” make crossplay on console not feasible. It's possible these barriers may be overcome in the future, but in the meantime, Stardew Valley does not support crossplay on console.
Of course, we don’t want to keep everyone’s hopes up, but all we can say right now is that if the developer managed to enable crossplay on PC and mobile, it’s not completely impossible that in the future, ConcernedApe might consider finding ways to bring this exciting feature to Stardew Valley players on other platforms.
