Release & Updates

Starsand Island Multiplayer Guide

Up to four players can join a host island online. Friends can farm, fish, gather, build, explore, work on profession quests, and complete requests together. Island progress is separate and cross-platform play is not supported.

Host and join

Hosts choose open, request, or password access. The official guide describes progression milestones before the Multiplayer app unlocks. Switch invitations require island-code or password-style access.

Permissions and progress

Hosts separately allow crops, livestock, fishing, crafting, and other resources. Visitors retain personal bag and appearance data, but world progress belongs to the island. Some quests must be finished at home.

Rewards and limits

Group farming, fishing, exploring, and photos earn Multiplayer Coins. Menus do not pause time, and the room closes if the host disconnects.
