Disney Dreamlight Valley’s latest expansion, “A Rift in Time,” has stirred a mix of excitement and disappointment among its players. This new addition, exclusively accessible to the account that purchases it, has raised concerns for families and groups sharing a single PS5 or PS4 console.
The “A Rift in Time” expansion for Disney Dreamlight Valley, a popular game among families and couples, has introduced a unique account-lock feature. This means that only the account that buys the expansion, priced at $40, can access it.
This decision has led to frustration within the gaming community, as evidenced by numerous Reddit threads. Players are dismayed at the prospect of having to purchase multiple copies for each family member or user on the same console.
This revelation comes after Gameloft’s announcement of the expansion in October. The clarification about the account-locked nature of the DLC only emerged recently, causing a stir among the game’s fan base. The developer stated, “if there are multiple user profiles on a console, only the user profile that purchased the expansion pass will be able to access the expansion content in-game”.
A Mixed Update: The Pumpkin King Returns
Contrasting with the divisive expansion, “The Pumpkin King Returns” update brings accessible content for all players. This update introduces Jack Skellington from Disney Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” adding new quests, items, and a festive atmosphere to the Valley. The update also features a new Royal Winter Star Path, a multiplayer mode, and the return of the holiday event.

- Arrival of Jack Skellington with new quests and items.
- Introduction of Valley Visits, a new multiplayer mode.
- A new Royal Winter Star Path for winter-themed decorations.

- Weekly DreamSnaps challenges with rewards.
- Holiday event with gifts and wrapping paper.
