My Time at Sandrock Is Getting an Important Multiplayer Feature

The 2023 farming simulator from Pathea Games, My Time at Sandrock, is finally getting a much-requested multiplayer feature months after release. This latest update will be great news for fans looking to play My Time at Sandrock with friends on other platforms.

As a sequel to 2019's fondly-received cozy farming game My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock had a lot to live up to in the eyes of fans prior to its release. Fortunately, though, the Stardew Valley-like game was a big hit when it launched in November 2023, obtaining an 80 Metacritic score on PC and an 88% Very Positive rating on Steam. One of the most notable additions that Sandrock added to the formula its predecessor established was the inclusion of online co-op, which made it so that up to four players could build workshops and cultivate towns together. The one big issue that hampered this otherwise solid multiplayer component at launch was the inability to play with friends on other platforms. Luckily, it seems like Pathea Games has listened to feedback from fans and has made an announcement regarding this problem.

As revealed during the first-ever Triple-i Initiative showcase on April 10, My Time at Sandrock will be getting cross-platform multiplayer support across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Epic Games Store. Pathea Games noted in the trailer linked below that this update would be coming later this June. No specific release date was provided, however.

This was not the only multiplayer-related announcement for a recently released indie game at the Triple-i Initiative showcase. The developers of the surprise hit roguelike shooter Brotato revealed that couch co-op support would soon be added in an update for the game. Meanwhile, some other notable upcoming co-op games, such as Thunder Lotus's 33 Immortals and Passtech Games' Ravenswatch: The Fall of Avalon, were also highlighted during the presentation.
