Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Finally Arrives on Mobile!
Mobile and console gamers can rejoice! After a lengthy wait, the highly anticipated Stardew Valley update 1.6 is launching on November 4th, 2024. This massive update, initially released on PC in March 2024, brings a wealth of new features and content.
What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Mobile?
This update significantly expands the multiplayer experience, now supporting up to eight players online – double the previous limit! Collaborate with friends on farming, fishing, and building projects. Two exciting fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, join the seasonal event lineup, alongside the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm layout, ideal for livestock farming with convenient access to fishing spots. Over 100 new NPC dialogues enrich interactions with the town's beloved characters.
Discover a plethora of new items, including the spacious Big Chest (nearly double the capacity of a standard chest), a dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for crafting specialized fish lures.
Personalize your farm with new furniture styles and over 25 stylish hats. Earn prize tickets by completing quests and participating in festivals, redeemable at a prize machine located in Lewis' house.
Update 1.6 introduces multiple pet ownership after maxing out your initial pet's affection. These adorable companions may bring gifts, and now even sport charming hats! Notice the updated winter attire on the NPCs as well.
A golden Joja parrot assists in locating elusive golden walnuts on Ginger Island. Expand your crops with the addition of carrots, summer squash, broccoli, powdermelon, and two new giant crop varieties.
The Reason for the Delay
The delay in releasing update 1.6 for mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, ensuring a smoother launch and minimizing bugs.
Get ready to dive into the enhanced fishing events, bond with your new pets, and cultivate new crops! Download Stardew Valley from the Google Play Store and revitalize your neglected farm. Stay tuned for our next article on Airplane Chefs and their partnership with Pringles!
