You’ll be able to play the relaxing farming simulator with a friend before too long. The developer is planning to trial an official multiplayer mode before the end of the year, with a planned general release in 2018.
Stardew Valley [Official Site] is one of those games that’s as comforting as a warm cup of tea on a cold and rainy day. Leaving behind the stresses of modern life, players inherit their grandfather’s farm and return to nature. Heavily inspired by the Harvest Moon series, Stardew Valley is not just about farm work and forming bonds with both animals and people. Relationships with NPCs feel satisfying and are built up over time, potentially culminating in marriage.
The game has gotten several updates since its launch last year, adding more content and polish to an already engaging game. The multiplayer mode that’s going to be implemented will allow up to three players to play together at the same time. Players will even be able to get married to one another, though only the main player can decide certain things like when to sleep and when festivals begin and end.
Things like PvP and local multiplayer aren't planned for now, though and the beta will initially use Steam’s invitation mechanism only. It doesn’t say how the final version released across various consoles will work for matchmaking, but it does sound like something that they’re giving some thought as they're looking to roll out MP on all platforms. So those of you who have bought DRM-free copies may have to wait for the final patch 1.3 but you likely haven’t been forgotten.

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.
