Somehow, there is still more work to be done onStardew Valleybefore Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is finished farming. Update 1.5 has been ticking along for some time, and now it appears the next big pastoral patch will add split-screen farming for up to four players. While Stardew’s had co-op for some time now, you’ll soon be able to make sure none of your fellow farmhands are fiddling with the crops while you’re not looking.Barone teased out the new feature in a Tweet today - and asPCGamesNpoints out, there’s more than just co-op on show in the carefully-chosen screenshot.In Stardew Valley 1.5, there will be splitscreen co-op!pic.twitter.com/n7XhPWSuSi— ConcernedApe (@ConcernedApe)October 16, 2020To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsFollowing up in the replies, Barone notes that while all platforms will get split-screen co-op, only PC will let you bring up to three more players in.
