Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile gamers can now enjoy this massive update, initially released on PC in March 2024.
What's New in Stardew Valley 1.6 Mobile?
This update significantly expands the Stardew Valley experience. The biggest change? Online multiplayer now supports up to eight players, doubling the previous limit. Collaborate with friends on farming, fishing, and building projects! Two exciting new fishing festivals—the Trout Derby and SquidFest—join the seasonal event lineup, alongside the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm layout, ideal for raising livestock and conveniently located near fishing spots. Over 100 new NPC dialogues add depth and personality to your interactions with the townsfolk.
A wealth of new items awaits! The Big Chest offers nearly double the storage of a regular chest, while a dehydrator, heavy furnace, and bait maker add valuable crafting capabilities.
Personalize your farm with new furniture styles and over 25 new hats. Earn prize tickets through quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis's house.
After maximizing your relationship with your initial pet, you can now have multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts! And yes, you can even put hats on your furry (or feathered) friends! Notice the updated winter outfits on the NPCs as well.
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 1.6 update for mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC and address any bugs before wider release.
Get ready to experience the expanded fishing events, bond with your new pets, and cultivate the new crops! Download Stardew Valley from the Google Play Store and revitalize your farm today! Stay tuned for our next article on Airplane Chefs and their new Pringles partnership!
