Here’s how to activate local multiplayer for both new and existing Saves so that you may play Stardew Valley in couch co-op.
Split Screen and Online multiplayer are the two choices available in Stardew Valley. Split Screen is intended for local couch co-op, but Online Mode allows you to connect to other players’ farms via the Internet. Although Stardew Valley’s local co-op multiplayer is simple to use, getting around its settings can be a little challenging at first. This article will show you how to enable and disable it.
How to Enable Local Co-Op in Stardew Valley
Click Split Screen after selecting Co-Op from the main menu. You may now join a game with two to four participants thanks to this. Other farmers must hit the Menu button twice in order to spawn on the farm once the game begins. If you would want the other farmers to join the host right away, you can begin the new game with up to three extra Cabins. Alternatively, you can discuss building additional Cabins with Robin; but, she will charge you 100g for each.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Select the Co-Op option from the main menu.
- Choose Split Screen.
- Create a new Save.
- Increase the number of Cabins in the Character Customization menu in the top-left corner.
- Click OK to host a multiplayer game.
- Press the Menu button on other controllers to join the host.
How to Disable Local Co-Op in Stardew Valley
To disable local co-op in Stardew Valley, other players must abandon the multiplayer session via the in-game interface. They must select Exit Game by pressing the Pause button in order to do it. Other farmers’ progress won’t be impacted by this. Nevertheless, all other farmers will be instantly eliminated if the host quits the game.
Ruining excess Cabins is another way to end the split screen experience. To bulldoze the undesirable constructions and keep others from entering your game, speak with Robin and select Demolish.
How to Play Co-Op in a Stardew Valley Save
To make a save into a local cooperative multiplayer game, construct more Cabins by negotiating with Robin, the Carpenter. She will sell you these buildings for one hundred grams apiece. They are ready to use and will appear on the land right away. Press the Menu button on other controllers to invite other players to join your game after you have one to three of these structures on your farm.
