Disney Dreamlight Valley does not have multiplayer at the moment, so there is no way to visit friends or other players and explore their valleys. However, the game is still in its early access phase, so it's more likely that multiplayer capabilities will come with or after the full release in 2023. We’ll update this guide as soon as we get any official details on multiplayer features for the game from Gameloft. For now, here’s what we know about Disney Dreamlight Valley multiplayer and when it could come to the game.

Does Disney Dreamlight Valley have multiplayer?

Disney Dreamlight Valley does not currently have multiplayer and, by the sounds of things from this IGN article, will not have multiplayer during the current early access period. However, developers Gameloft are planning on implementing multiplayer to the game at some point in the future, although we don’t know when this will be. Disney Dreamlight Valley released into early access on September 6, 2022 and will fully launch as a free-to-play game sometime in 2023, so multiplayer could arrive this year.

When multiplayer does eventually launch for Disney Dreamlight Valley, we expect it will be similar to how it works in Animal Crossing: New Horizons – players can add friends and then visit their Dreamlight Valley to hang out, interact with Disney villagers, and explore. You might even be able to help each other by exchanging gifts of valuable resources or items needed for quests.

While multiplayer features won’t be coming to the game for a while, Disney Dreamlight Valley has received several content updates, including a small Lion King-themed update that introduced Scar and a more substantial Toy Story update that added even more Disney Dreamlight Valley characters. In this Realm, you can complete quests to get Buzz Lightyear and Woody to move into your valley - learn about the Disney Dreamlight Valley Buzz Lightyear quest and Disney Dreamlight Valley Woody quest.
