Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Is Coming To Mobile This November!

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

What's New in Stardew Valley 1.6 Mobile?

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

Farmers will appreciate the addition of the Meadowlands farm layout, ideal for livestock and convenient fishing. Over 100 new NPC dialogues enhance interactions with the town's residents, adding depth to the social aspects of the game.

A plethora of new items are included: a Big Chest (nearly twice the capacity of a standard chest), a dehydrator for preserving produce, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for crafting specialized fish lures. New furniture styles and over 25 hats provide extensive customization options. Players can collect prize tickets from quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine in Lewis' house.

After maximizing your initial pet's affection, you can now have multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts. And yes, you can even put hats on your furry friends! You'll also notice NPCs sporting winter attire.

Reasons for the Delay

The delay in bringing update 1.6 to mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, addressing any bugs before wider release.
