Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices! Console and mobile gamers can rejoice as the massive update launches November 4th, 2024, following its March 2024 PC debut.
What's New in Stardew Valley 1.6 Mobile?
This update significantly expands the multiplayer experience, boosting the online player limit to eight—double the original capacity. Collaborate with friends on farming, fishing, and construction projects! Two exciting fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, join the seasonal event lineup, alongside the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm map, ideal for livestock and convenient fishing opportunities. Over 100 new NPC dialogues enhance interactions with the town's residents, adding depth to relationships.
Stardew Valley 1.6 introduces a wealth of new items: the Big Chest (nearly double the storage of a regular chest), a dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for targeted fishing.
Customization options abound with new furniture styles and over 25 hats. Complete quests and festival events to earn prize tickets, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis's house.
After maxing out your starting pet's affection, you can now acquire multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts! And yes, you can even put hats on your furry (or feathered) friends. Notice the NPCs sporting new winter attire as well.
A golden Joja parrot assists in finding those elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. New crops include carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two giant crop varieties.
The Delay Explained
The delay in releasing Stardew Valley 1.6 on mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, addressing any potential bugs before wider release. November marks the arrival of new fishing events, additional pets, and exciting new crops!
