Stardew's 1.6 Update Arrives on Mobile

Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile gamers can now enjoy the massive update, originally released on PC in March 2024.

What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?

This update significantly expands the Stardew Valley experience. Online multiplayer now supports up to eight players, doubling the original capacity for collaborative farming, building, and fishing adventures. Two exciting new fishing festivals—the Trout Derby and SquidFest—join the seasonal events, including the Desert Festival.

Explore the new Meadowlands farm layout, ideal for raising livestock and enjoying convenient fishing opportunities. Over 100 new NPC dialogues enrich interactions with the town's residents, adding depth to the social aspects of the game.

A plethora of new items enhances gameplay. These include the spacious Big Chest, a practical dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy-duty furnace, and a handy bait maker for targeted fishing.

Customization options abound with new furniture styles and over 25 fresh hat designs. Players can collect prize tickets from quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis's house.

After befriending your initial pet, you can now acquire multiple companions, each potentially bringing gifts, and even dress them up in hats! Notice the charming winter outfits now adorning the NPCs.

A golden Joja parrot assists in locating the 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, ensuring a smoother experience for all platforms.
