Stardew Valley 1.6 Update Hits Mobile in November!

Stardew Valley enthusiasts on mobile and console, your patience is finally paying off! The much-anticipated Update 1.6 is set to launch on November 4th, 2024, months after its initial release on PC in March 2024. This update is a game-changer, bringing a host of new features and enhancements to your farming adventure.

What’s New In Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?

One of the most exciting additions is the support for up to eight players online, doubling the previous limit. Now, you can invite even more friends to join in on the fun of building, farming, and fishing together. The update introduces two new fishing festivals: the Trout Derby and SquidFest, along with other seasonal events like the Desert Festival, adding more variety to your in-game calendar.

For those who enjoy a mixed farm life, the new Meadowlands Farm layout offers the perfect balance for raising livestock and indulging in a bit of fishing. Social butterflies will appreciate the over 100 new NPC dialogues, which enrich your interactions with the town's colorful characters.

Stardew Valley 1.6 also brings a plethora of new items to the game. The Big Chest, which is almost double the size of a regular chest, a dehydrator for drying fruits and mushrooms, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for crafting specific fish baits are just a few of the exciting additions.

Personalization gets a boost with new furniture styles and over 25 new hats, giving you endless options to customize your character and home. You can now collect prize tickets by completing quests and festival events, which can be redeemed at a prize machine located in Lewis' house.

Pet lovers will be thrilled to know that after maxing out hearts with your starter pet, you can have multiple pets. These pets might even bring you gifts, and you can dress them up with hats. Additionally, NPCs will now don winter outfits, adding a seasonal touch to the game.

For those exploring Ginger Island, a golden Joja parrot will assist in finding the last golden walnuts. New crops such as carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two giant crops will expand your farming possibilities.

Why The Delay?

The delay in bringing Stardew Valley Update 1.6 to mobile and consoles was due to the developers' decision to thoroughly test the update on PC first to ensure it was bug-free. This careful approach means that when the update finally arrives on November 4th, you can dive right into the new fishing events, spend time with your new pets, and cultivate new crops without any hiccups.
