Put simply, cross platform gaming allows for players to join forces even if they are playing a game on different consoles. Yup, long gone are the days when it was impossible to play a game with someone else if they were on a different console to you \u2013 and now PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation and Xbox players can team up or be pitted against one another.<\/p>\n<p>But does Stardew Valley allow for cross platform play? Well, put simply, no.<\/p>\n<p>There is just one exception \u2013 Mac and PC players can play together, but that\u2019s currently the only option (and even then it\u2019s a bit of a stretch to call that cross platform).<\/p> <p>Yup, super frustrating given that Stardew Valley allows for up to four players to all play together at once \u2013 but you\u2019ll need to make sure your pals join you on the same console for farming fun.<\/p>\n<p>While we keep our fingers crossed that Stardew Valley cross platform play may come out in the future, <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-cross-platform-games-crossplay\/&quot;\">here are twelve of the best games which support cross-platform gaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Loved Stardew Valley? <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/games-like-stardew-valley\/&quot;\">Here\u2019s another 11 wholesome simulator games to play next<\/a>.<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6318280320112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <p><strong>Hungry for more gaming?
