Can you play Stardew Valley multiplayer without the host?
Nope, if you're playing Stardew Valley in multiplayer, the host needs to be playing for others to access the game. Think of it like a party - no host, no party.

Actually, you kinda can, but not in the way you might think. If the host's game isn't running, you can't play on that particular farm. However, any player can start their own game and become the host of their own farm, inviting others to join them. So, it's a no but with a twist.
Stardew Valley multiplayer is a no-go without the host. Tried it with my friends, and whenever our host dipped, the farm was off-limits until they came back. It's a bit of a bummer but makes you appreciate your host a bit more, doesn't it?
