Stardew Valley is one of those cozy games that has captured the hearts of many players since it launched in 2016. It’s no surprise that it has seen regular updates to keep things fresh and exciting. If you’re a fan, you’re probably eagerly awaiting the new 1.6 update, which promises some significant changes and fixes to enhance your gameplay experience. However, there’s a bit of a bummer: right now, the update is only available for PC users, leaving console players curious about when they’ll get to enjoy all the new features. Here’s the scoop on when you can expect the update on your console.
When is Stardew Valley Update 1.6 Coming to Consoles?
The good news is that the developer, ConcernedApe, recently announced via Twitter that the 1.6 update will be coming to consoles and mobile devices on November 4th. This includes all platforms, such as PlayStation, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch, as well as iOS and Android devices. The original update rolled out in March, meaning console players will have waited about eight months for these new features.
If you’re worried about how the update will affect your game, ConcernedApe reassured fans that you can use your existing save file to experience all the new content. However, he also suggested that starting a new farm might be the best way to fully enjoy everything, since some features are different in the first year compared to later years. Plus, there’s something special about starting fresh, right?
If you’re curious about what’s included in this update, you can check out the 1.6 patch notes for a detailed look at all the new additions.
Also, keep an eye out for updates on Haunted Chocolatier, as it seems ConcernedApe will have more time to focus on that project soon.
So, mark your calendars for November 4th and get ready to dive back into your farms with all the exciting new content!
