While fans await Eric Barone's next simulator, Haunted Chocolatier, the developer has quietly updated Stardew Valley. Recently, the mobile version received a patch introducing a hidden online multiplayer mode.
The mode is indeed secret—it's hidden from players and requires a specific unlock sequence. To activate it, you'll need to recall the famous Konami code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← →) and enter it on the main menu. Afterward, tap the question mark icon. The «arrows» are represented by the leaves on the main screen.
Eric Barone warned that mobile multiplayer is still experimental. «Just be aware that there are inherent connectivity issues that can arise when attempting to host a multiplayer game from a mobile device,» he noted.
Stardew Valley previously received a major 1.6 update. You can read about all its new features here.
