Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update finally arrives on mobile devices on November 4th, 2024! Console and mobile players can now enjoy this massive update, originally 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, allowing for even more collaborative farming, fishing, and building. Two exciting new fishing festivals—the Trout Derby and SquidFest—join the seasonal event lineup, alongside the Desert Festival.
A brand-new Meadowlands farm layout offers a perfect blend of livestock raising and convenient fishing opportunities. Over 100 new NPC dialogues add depth and enhance interactions with the charming town residents.
Discover a treasure trove 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 a Bait Maker for crafting specialized fishing lures.
Customization options abound with new furniture styles and over 25 unique hats. Complete quests and festival events to earn prize tickets, redeemable at a prize machine located in Lewis' house.
After maxing out your initial pet's affection, you can now have multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts. And the best part? You can now dress them in hats! Observe the charming detail of NPCs sporting winter attire.
A golden Joja parrot assists 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 crops.
Reason for the Delay?
The delay in releasing the 1.6 update for mobile and consoles was attributed to thorough PC testing to identify and resolve any potential bugs before the wider release. Now, in November, you can dive into the new fishing events, bond with your new pets, and cultivate the new crops!
