As a dedicated fan of Stardew Valley who has spent countless hours cultivating my digital farm, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and relief at the news that Update 1.6 is finally making its way to consoles and mobile devices on November 4th. While I’ve been more than content to watch my PC-playing counterparts reap the rewards of this meaty update, I’ve grown weary of tending to my virtual crops without the promise of new content on the horizon.
At last, the much-anticipated Stardew Valley update 1.6 is set for console release! After gracing PC players with a wealth of fresh content and numerous enhancements to the beloved farming sim on March 19, the wait for console and mobile users seemed endless. However, developer ConcernedApe assured us that this content would eventually reach consoles and mobile devices, but no specific date was provided. Now, we can finally rejoice as the release date has been announced!
On social media platform X, developer Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) disclosed that the Stardew Valley Update 1.6 will become available on consoles and mobile devices starting November 4. During this announcement, Barone explained why updates typically roll out for PC first, using the analogy of a beta test; he stated that console versions are more challenging and costly to update, which makes the PC release an essential precursor. However, Barone was surprised by the substantial delay between the PC and console/mobile launches.
Barone mentioned that traditionally, releases happen first on PC since it serves as a ‘testing ground’ to catch any severe bugs like those that could destroy saves. This is particularly important for consoles because patches can’t be applied as swiftly there. However, he clarified that the duration of this delay was not part of his initial plan.
In other responses to the post announcing the update for console and mobile players, Barone suggests that it might be best to start anew with a fresh farm if you plan to join the game when the update is released. However, he also indicates that you can still discover most of the new content with an existing save file as well.
Barone suggests that you can continue exploring most things anew with your current save file, but if you’re intrigued by the idea of starting a new farm, it would be best to begin afresh. For instance, some aspects are different in year one compared to years two and beyond. Plus, there’s something exciting about embarking on a fresh farming journey, isn’t there?
Regarding potential variations between the PC Update 1.6 and its console or mobile counterpart, we remain uncertain. The lack of explicit information from Barone implies that any differences, should they exist, might be negligible and not significantly impactful.
