Stardew Valley Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Out Now With Mouse Controls, Local Split-Screen, And More

We learned during a Nintendo Direct back in September that developer ConcernedApe was working on a Nintendo Switch 2 update for Stardew Valley. Yesterday, on Christmas, ConcernedApe surprise-dropped the update, and it’s free to anyone who already owns the game on Switch. 

If you don’t own Stardew Valley on Switch, you can purchase the Switch 2 edition for $14.99; if you do own it already, all you have to do is upgrade to the Switch 2 edition via a free “Upgrade Pack” on the Nintendo eShop. As for what to expect in this edition of the game, it features mouse controls, local split-screen co-op for up to 4 players, and online multiplayer for up to 8 players. Plus, with the Switch 2 Game Share feature, you only need one copy to play four-player co-op with friends.
