Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update is finally arriving on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile players can rejoice after months of waiting, as this massive update—initially released on PC in March 2024—is now available.
What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?
This update significantly expands the gameplay experience. Online multiplayer now supports up to eight players, double the previous limit, allowing for even more collaborative farming, fishing, and building. Two exciting new fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, join the existing seasonal events, including the Desert Festival.
A fresh farm layout, the Meadowlands Farm, provides ample space for livestock and convenient access to fishing spots. Over 100 new NPC dialogues add depth and intrigue to interactions with the town's residents.
A plethora of new items enhances gameplay: a Big Chest (nearly double the capacity of a standard chest), a dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for crafting specialized fish lures.
Customization options abound 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 achieving maximum hearts with your initial pet, you can now have multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts, and even adorning them with hats! Noticeable seasonal changes include NPCs sporting winter attire.
A golden Joja parrot assists in locating the elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. New crops include carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two giant crop varieties.
Reason for the Delay?
The delay in releasing the update for mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, ensuring a smoother experience for all players. Now, the wait is over! Prepare to explore new fishing events, bond with your multiple pets, and cultivate new crops.
