Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices! Console and mobile players can rejoice as the massive update launches on November 4th, 2024, following its March 2024 debut on PC.
What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?
This update significantly expands the multiplayer experience, boosting the online player limit to eight—double the original capacity. Team up with even more friends for collaborative farming, fishing, and construction projects. Two exciting fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, join the seasonal event lineup, alongside the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm map, ideal for livestock raising and convenient fishing opportunities. Enhanced social interaction awaits with over 100 new NPC dialogues, enriching your relationships with the town's unique characters.
A plethora of new items are introduced, including the spacious Big Chest (nearly double the size of a standard chest), a practical dehydrator for preserving fruits and mushrooms, a heavy-duty furnace, and a handy bait maker for crafting specialized fish lures.
Extensive customization options abound with new furniture styles and over 25 stylish hats. Earn prize tickets by completing quests and participating in festival events, then redeem them at the prize machine located in Lewis' house.
Update 1.6 introduces the ability to own multiple pets after fully befriending your initial companion. These pets may bring gifts, and you can even accessorize them with hats! Observe the charming detail of NPCs sporting winter attire.
A golden Joja parrot acts as a helpful guide, assisting you in locating the elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. Expand your farming repertoire with the addition of carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two new giant crop varieties.
Reasons for the Delay
The delay in releasing Stardew Valley 1.6 for mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, ensuring a smoother launch and minimizing bugs. November marks the long-awaited arrival! Prepare to experience new fishing events, bond with your new pets, and cultivate the latest crops.
