Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Is Coming To Mobile This November!

Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile players can now enjoy the massive update, initially launched on PC in March 2024.

What's New in Stardew Valley 1.6 Mobile?

This update significantly expands the Stardew Valley experience. Online multiplayer now supports up to eight players, doubling the previous limit, allowing for even more collaborative farming, fishing, and building. Two exciting new fishing festivals – the Trout Derby and SquidFest – join the seasonal event roster, alongside the Desert Festival.

A brand-new Meadowlands farm layout offers a perfect blend of livestock raising and convenient fishing opportunities. Over 100 new NPC dialogues enrich interactions with the town's residents, adding depth to the social aspect of the game.

A plethora of new items enhances gameplay. These include a significantly larger Big Chest, a dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy furnace, and a handy bait maker for targeted fishing. Extensive customization options are available with new furniture styles and over 25 new hats. Players can now collect prize tickets from quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis' house.

After maxing out your starting pet's affection, you can now own multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts, and even adorn them with hats! You'll also notice NPCs sporting winter attire.

The Reason for the Delay

The delay in releasing the 1.6 update for mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, ensuring a smoother launch and minimizing bugs. Now, the wait is over! Prepare to explore the new fishing events, bond with your new pets, and cultivate the new crops.
