As for why it&#8217;s taken so long to come to the region, developer Eric &#8216;ConcernedApe&#8217; Barone confirmed that he was waiting until a patch went live to fix some unsavoury bugs before releasing it outside of the US.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;A patch to fix the crafting bug, and add improvements to the mouse controls on the NS2 edition of Stardew Valley is coming soon. I&#8217;ll wait to release the NS2 edition in EU until this patch is ready, since the crafting bug can cause you to lose items.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So yes, if you&#8217;re planning to play Stardew Valley on the Switch 2, you can now enjoy additional mouse controls along with four-player split-screen and eight-player online support. GameShare has also been added, so those without the game on Switch and Switch 2 can also participate.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch-2\/related-articles:195867,198044 @ 1772875874 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Have you been playing Stardew Valley on the Switch 2, or have you been waiting for it to go live on the eShop?
