Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Is Coming To Mobile This November!

Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update is finally arriving on mobile devices! Console and mobile gamers can rejoice, as the massive update launches November 4th, 2024, following its March 2024 PC debut.

What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?

This update significantly expands the gameplay experience. Online multiplayer now supports up to eight players, doubling the previous capacity for collaborative farming, building, and fishing. Two exciting new fishing festivals—the Trout Derby and SquidFest—join the seasonal event lineup, alongside the Desert Festival.

A brand-new farm layout, the Meadowlands, offers ample space for livestock and convenient fishing opportunities. Over 100 additional NPC dialogues enrich interactions with the town's beloved residents.

Stardew Valley 1.6 introduces a plethora of new items: a Big Chest (nearly double the capacity of a standard chest), a dehydrator for preserving fruits and mushrooms, a heavy furnace, and even a bait maker for crafting specialized fish lures.

Extensive customization options abound with new furniture styles and over 25 unique hats. Players can collect prize tickets from quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis's house.

The update allows for multiple pet ownership after achieving maximum hearts with your initial companion, with pets potentially bringing gifts and now sporting adorable hats. You'll also notice NPCs sporting winter attire.

A golden Joja parrot aids in locating elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. New crops include carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two giant crop varieties.

The Reason for the Delay

The delay in bringing Stardew Valley 1.6 to mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, addressing any potential bugs before the wider release. Now, in November, players can finally experience the enhanced fishing events, new pets, and expanded crops.
