Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile gamers can now experience the massive update, originally launched on PC in March 2024.
What's New in Stardew Valley 1.6 Mobile?
This update significantly expands the gameplay experience. Online multiplayer now supports up to eight players, doubling the previous limit, allowing for even more collaborative farming, building, and fishing adventures. Two exciting new fishing festivals – the Trout Derby and SquidFest – join the seasonal event roster, alongside the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands farm map, ideal for livestock raising and convenient fishing. Over 100 new NPC dialogues enrich interactions with the town's beloved characters.
A wealth of new items awaits! These include a Big Chest (nearly double the storage of a standard chest), a dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy furnace, and a handy bait maker for targeted fishing. Over 25 new hats and furniture styles provide extensive customization options. Complete quests and festival events to earn prize tickets, redeemable at a new prize machine in Lewis' house.
After maxing friendship with your initial pet, you can now have multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts, and you can even dress them in hats! Notice the charming winter outfits now sported by the villagers.
A golden Joja parrot assists in locating those elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. New crops include carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two giant crop varieties.
Reasons for the Delay
The delay in releasing the update for mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC and address any potential bugs before wider release.
