Stardew Valley enthusiasts, the wait is over! The much-anticipated update 1.6 is set to launch on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024, following its initial release on PC back in March 2024. This update promises to bring a wealth of new content and features to console and mobile players, enhancing the beloved farming simulation experience.
What’s New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 for Mobile?
The update expands multiplayer capabilities, now supporting up to eight players online, allowing you to collaborate with more friends than ever before. Dive into the community spirit with two exciting new fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, alongside other seasonal events like the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm layout, an ideal setting for livestock and fishing enthusiasts. Engage deeper with the town's characters through over 100 new NPC dialogues, enriching your social interactions within the game.
Stardew Valley 1.6 introduces a variety of new items, including the spacious Big Chest, a dehydrator for preserving fruits and mushrooms, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for crafting specialized fish baits. Customize your space with new furniture styles and over 25 new hats, giving you endless options to personalize your farm.
Earn prize tickets from quests and festival events, which can be redeemed at a prize machine located in Lewis' house. The update also allows for multiple pets once you've maxed out hearts with your initial pet. These furry friends can now bring you gifts and even wear hats, adding a delightful touch to your farm life. Keep an eye out for NPCs donning winter outfits, adding a seasonal flair to the game.
For treasure hunters, a golden Joja parrot will assist in locating the elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. Gardeners will rejoice with the introduction of new crops such as carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two giant crop varieties, expanding your farming possibilities.
Why The Delay?
The delay in bringing Stardew Valley 1.6 to mobile and consoles was a strategic move by the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC first, ensuring a smoother rollout and minimizing bugs. Now, with the update set for November, players can look forward to diving into new fishing events, bonding with new pets, and cultivating new crops.
