Stardew Valley 1.6 Update Arrives on Mobile

Stardew Valley's highly anticipated mobile update 1.6 arrives on November 4th, 2024, bringing the expansive content initially released on PC in March 2024, to console and mobile players. Prepare for a significant gameplay boost!

What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?

This update dramatically expands multiplayer capabilities, supporting up to eight players simultaneously – double the previous limit. Collaborate with friends on farming, fishing, and building projects like never before. Two exciting fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, join the seasonal event lineup, alongside a new Desert Festival.

Explore the addition of the Meadowlands Farm layout, ideal for livestock raising and convenient fishing access. Engage with over 100 new NPC dialogue options, enriching interactions with the charming town residents.

A plethora of new items awaits! Maximize storage with the Big Chest (nearly double the capacity of a standard chest). Preserve your harvest with the new dehydrator, perfect for fruits and mushrooms. Craft specialized fish bait with the bait maker, and utilize the heavy furnace for various crafting needs. Over 25 new hats and diverse furniture styles enhance customization options. Earn prize tickets through quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis' house.

Multiple pets are now possible after maximizing hearts with your initial companion. These furry (or feathered) friends may even bring gifts, and you can now adorn them with hats! Notice the updated winter attire on NPCs. A golden Joja parrot aids in locating elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. Expand your crops with the addition of carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two new giant crop varieties.

Addressing the Delay

The staggered release, prioritizing PC testing to minimize bugs, explains the delay in bringing Stardew Valley 1.6 to mobile and consoles. The wait is finally over! Get ready for new fishing events, adorable pets, and a wider array of crops.
