Direct answer
Version 1.0 adds online multiplayer for up to four players, new 3-Heart Relationship Stories, expanded dating activities for 14 romanceable NPCs, and the Autumn Pumpkin Festival. The August 20 Version 1.08.3916 patch then fixed several multiplayer and save-loading issues.

Steps and rules

- Check the 3-Heart Relationship Story and dating additions separately from multiplayer rules.

Exceptions and branches
- PC updates may arrive before console updates because platform review timing differs.
- A feature announced for 1.0 is not automatically proof that every early-access save or platform has identical behavior.

Troubleshooting
- If a 1.0 feature is missing, verify the installed build and platform first.
- If multiplayer is still locked after Smooth Sailing, check the official 1.08.3916 patch and the dedicated unlock troubleshooting page.
- Do not treat a community summary as an official patch note without a matching source.
