Talking about the mouse controls, this means you can now move your furniture around with ease, not to mention that organizing your inventory is now made more convenient. This allows you to make full use of the new Joy-Con’s features.
Apart from that, the Game Share feature available in Switch 2 means you can play a four-player co-op with your friends by using just a single copy of the game!
However, it’s worth noting that ConcernedApe noted that the Switch 2 version has some unspecified issues that he’s currently working on. He assures fans that these issues will be fixed as soon as possible.
On his tweet over at X (formerly Twitter), ConcernedApe said:
“I am aware that there are some issues with the Nintendo Switch 2 edition that just dropped. I take full responsibility for this mistake. We will fix this as soon as possible.”
As of this writing, it seems that Stardew Valley’s Switch 2 version is currently only available in certain time zones.
