Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update is finally arriving on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Following its March 2024 PC release, console and mobile players can now experience this massive update.
What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?
This update significantly expands the Stardew Valley experience. First and foremost, online multiplayer now supports up to eight players, doubling the previous limit. Gather your friends for collaborative farming, fishing, and building! Two exciting new fishing festivals—the Trout Derby and SquidFest—join the seasonal event lineup, including a new Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm layout, ideal for livestock raising and convenient fishing. Over 100 new NPC dialogues add depth and charm to interactions with the town's residents.
A plethora of new items enhances gameplay. The Big Chest offers nearly double the storage of a regular chest. A dehydrator efficiently dries fruits and mushrooms, while a heavy furnace and bait maker streamline crafting. New furniture styles and over 25 hats provide extensive customization options. Earn prize tickets from quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis' house.
Update 1.6 introduces the ability to own multiple pets after maxing out your starter pet's hearts. These pets may even bring you gifts, and you can now adorn them with hats! You'll also notice NPCs sporting winter outfits.
A golden Joja parrot assists in locating the final golden walnuts on Ginger Island. New crops include carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two giant crop varieties.
Why the Delay?
The delay in bringing Stardew Valley 1.6 to mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, ensuring a smoother launch and minimizing bugs. Now, in November, it's finally here! Get ready to explore the new fishing events, bond with your pets, and cultivate new crops.
