Farming sims often struggle to support multiplayer, as the gameplay and progression are geared toward a more solitary adventure. While this hasn’t stopped titles like Stardew Valley from implementing it later on, or Palia from setting it as a core mechanic – it isn’t a genre staple. This begs the question – will Coral Island 1.0 have multiplayer?

Is There Multiplayer in Coral Island?

No, Coral Island does not have any multiplayer functionality at the time of writing. However, according to Stairway’s Roadmap, the team does have multiplayer in mind. Both online and split-screen multiplayer will be added after Coral Island’s full release in a post-1.0 update.

While there is no exact date, it’s likely multiplayer will be added to Coral Island in early 2024. Naturally, this should be taken with a grain of salt, as development and timeframes can change.
