Not long to wait for the proper stable version of Stardew Valley's Multiplayer Update, as the developer confirmed today that it will release on August 1st.

Here's what they said:

The Stardew Valley Multiplayer Update will be out for PC, Mac & Linux on August 1st!

They also sent out a trailer for it:

Multiplayer isn't the only addition in this coming update, as it also brings along a bunch of new content for the ride too. Bring up to three friends, marry them (or not, whatever) make them a place to sleep and let your farm grow. Such a ridiculously sweet game, fantastic to have it on Linux.

Want to grab a copy now? It's fun in single-player and the multiplayer works in the current beta. Grab it from: Humble Store, GOG and Steam.
