Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update is finally arriving on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile players can now experience the massive update, initially released 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 for cooperative farming, building, and fishing adventures. Two exciting fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, join the roster of seasonal events, alongside the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm map, ideal for livestock raising and convenient fishing. Over 100 new NPC dialogues enhance interactions with the town's residents, adding depth to relationships.
A plethora of new items are introduced: a Big Chest (nearly double the capacity of a standard chest), a dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for crafting specialized fishing lures. New furniture styles and over 25 hats offer extensive customization options. Collect prize tickets from quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis's house.
Multiple pets are now possible after maximizing your initial pet's friendship level. These pets may bring gifts, and you can even accessorize them with hats! Note the updated winter outfits worn by NPCs.
A golden Joja parrot assists in finding the remaining 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 the mobile and console releases allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, ensuring a smoother experience for all players. The wait is over – November brings the exciting new fishing events, adorable pets, and bountiful new crops!
