Nope, Stardew Valley doesn't need Nintendo Switch Online if you're planning on playing solo. You can farm, mine, and romance the townsfolk to your heart's content offline. However, if you wanna visit friends' farms or have them come to yours, then yes, you'll need that Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Stardew Valley is a single-purchase game with no microtransactions, which means you can play the majority of the game without Nintendo Switch Online. That said, for multiplayer fun, the subscription is a must.

Actually, yes for multiplayer. If you're into sharing your farm life with others or peeking into their agricultural paradise, Nintendo Switch Online is the gatekeeper.

Nah, you don't need it. I've been playing Stardew Valley on my Switch for months now and haven't touched the online part. Solo play works just fine without it.
