Stardew Valley‘s enormous 1.6.9 update launched on all platforms earlier this week, including console and mobile. While developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone gave players the lowdown on the contents of the update via its patch notes, it seems he left out one little detail: The new update allows mobile players to access the game’s multiplayer mode… by entering the Konami Code.
Barone did make a blog post acknowledging the new mobile feature once the update was live, and also explained why it wasn’t hidden in the patch notes, and why the Konami Code is currently the only way to access it.
“With the release of Stardew Valley 1.6 on mobile, there is now a hidden multiplayer feature which you can access,” Barone wrote. “It is hidden for a couple of reasons: 1. It’s an experimental feature, so it might still have some bugs or issues. 2. The nature of the mobile platform could make a multiplayer session frustrating under certain scenarios.”
