Many of you often ask about the online multiplayer mode of the game. It's still early to give a specific date, but it's progressing well and will likely be available by early 2025!

PLEASE NO!! I hate it when very good games are ruined by having the single player experience handicapped in favor of multiplayer functionality. PLEASE NO!!

What? It does not appear to be strictly a SP game at this moment

I came here to check this out too and looks like on their EA roadmap "Multiplayer" is already on the list of things they want to add. So ignore the Professor

yes please... I tried remote play the other day again and it is completely broken.

Online Co-op would be nice

I love playing these type of games co-op, because I enjoy the farming/selling/brewing/gathering aspects of these types of games much more than the building and decorating aspects. Get yourself a friend who fills in your disinterests with their interests and you got yourself a lovely virtuous cycle of gaming

Why would it be handicapped?

Games like Stardew Valley were not handicapped by having a multiplayer. Sure general farming is easier in terms of going to the mine and such.

I mean, I don't see how letting people have a server to join like plateup ruins the singleplayer experience at all. The split screen coop hurts more than it helps. Do you have any explanation why you feel like mp would ruin your sp experience?

Do you play online on two PCs? So two keyboards and mouse or do you play on one machine?

Frankly, I am sceptical about this. There are more important things to do at the moment in my book than multiplayer.

Reason: What can the other player do? Can he redecorate? remove stuff? Put it into the dustbin? Waste my resources for things I do not want like turning all my copper into piles of incense burners? Remove my fruit trees so I start with a sapling again and have to wait for 30 days to have it produce stuff? Place farmland where I do not want it to be? Cook stuff in the kitchen I do not want to have? Squander my barley stash for beers I do not want to brew? Make cheese from my scarce milk while I need a reserve in case I need yoghurt or cream? Fire my experienced personel and hire bad ones? Waste my money on buying a chest full of stuff I do not need like 500 glasses?...

Yeah, interference from random guys from the net sounds like fun...NOT!!!
Having a split screen with a guy next to you sharing work is fun and communicative. Online MP? Nah, count me out of that.

Imagine playing with a friend you know.
