Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile gamers can now enjoy the expansive content initially released 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 for collaborative farming, fishing, and building. Two exciting fishing festivals – the Trout Derby and SquidFest – join the existing seasonal events, including the Desert Festival.
A brand new farm layout, the Meadowlands, offers ample space for livestock and convenient fishing opportunities. Over 100 additional NPC dialogues enrich interactions with the town's residents, adding depth to the social aspect of the game.
Prepare for a wealth of new items! The Big Chest provides nearly double the storage of a regular chest; a dehydrator allows for efficient fruit and mushroom preservation; a heavy furnace increases crafting capabilities; and a bait maker facilitates targeted fishing.
Customization options expand with new furniture styles and over 25 unique hats. Players can collect prize tickets from quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis's house.
After befriending your initial pet, the update allows for multiple animal companions, each potentially bringing gifts. A charming addition: you can now adorn your pets with hats! Observe the NPCs sporting new 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 developers prioritized thorough testing on PC to identify and fix any bugs before releasing the update on mobile and consoles. The wait is finally over – enjoy the new fishing events, bond with your multiple pets, and cultivate the new crops!
