Stardew Valley, the worldwide indie sensation developed by ConcernedApe (Eric Barone), has officially arrived on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Priced at $14.99 on the Nintendo eShop, this latest version of Stardew Valley brings a suite of enhanced features to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware, further cementing the title’s legacy as one of the most beloved and enduring indie games.
Since its initial release in 2016, Stardew Valley has captivated millions of players with its charming pixel art, deep farming mechanics, and robust multiplayer options.
The Nintendo Switch version quickly became a favorite due to its portable functionality and seamless multiplayer, and now the Nintendo Switch 2 edition elevates the experience with several highly requested features. Players who already purchased Stardew Valley on the original Nintendo Switch are eligible for a free upgrade pack to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
This upgrade ensures that loyal fans can access the latest enhancements without purchasing the game again.
Among the standout improvements are enhanced controls, notably intuitive mouse support, which streamlines inventory management and furniture placement.
Local split-screen cooperative play has been expanded and now supports up to four players, making it easier than ever for friends and family to enjoy farm life together on a single console. Online multiplayer functionality has also been boosted, with support for up to eight players.
This extended multiplayer capability promises more vibrant community play sessions for established and new Stardew Valley fans alike.
A newly introduced Game Share feature allows one owner of Stardew Valley on Nintendo Switch 2 to invite up to three friends to join their game session, even if those friends do not own the game themselves.
According to the official announcement, this development aims to make cooperative gameplay more accessible, fostering even greater connections within the Stardew Valley community.
Since launching on its original platforms, Stardew Valley has surpassed 20 million copies sold worldwide and continues to receive free content updates.
The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 edition marks yet another milestone for developer ConcernedApe, who remains committed to supporting and expanding the game’s reach. With its budget-friendly price point, free upgrade for returning players, and a wide array of new features, Stardew Valley’s Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is poised to become a standout title on Nintendo’s newest console.
Fans can download the game today via the Nintendo eShop and dive back into Pelican Town with the most comprehensive version available to date.
