Stardew Valley’s Secret Mobile Multiplayer: Here’s How to Join

Stardew Valley's recent 1.6 update has introduced an exciting yet secretive mobile multiplayer mode. This mode, noted as "experimental," is so hidden that players must consult an official guide to access it. Developer Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone highlights that, while mobile multiplayer mirrors the experience on other platforms, users can only connect via IP, eliminating farm discovery capabilities. Despite potential connectivity issues during gameplay, especially on low-performance devices, players can join PC-hosted farms using their mobile devices. To unlock this feature, players need to follow specific steps, including an homage to the classic Konami code.

To access Stardew Valley's secret mobile multiplayer mode, go to the game's main menu and tap the leaves on the logo in the following order: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right. Then, finish the process by entering and exiting the menu that appears after clicking the question mark button.

Stardew Valley, released in 2016, is a life simulation and farming simulation video game where players can plant crops, raise animals, explore mines, and develop their farm to their liking. The game, developed by ConcernedApe, has been consistently updated with new content, ensuring a vibrant player community and a continually evolving experience, which makes this new mobile multiplayer feature a thrilling addition for fans wanting to share their farming adventures on the go.
