ConcernedApe has finally launched the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley on PC, with the new version coming to mobile and console soon.
First announced in November 2022, the 1.6 update is the first update for Stardew Valley since 2020, when creator Eric Barone shifted his focus to work on Haunted Chocolatier. Originally the new update was going to be a small one that mostly focused on mod support but over the past few years, the scope shifted.
After teasing features that included cats and dogs wearing hats and a fix for a harvesting bug that’s inadvertently been wasting players time for years, the 1.6 update went live yesterday (March 19) for PC players alongside an absolutely massive set of patch notes.
Alongside fixes for multiplayer and mods, the update includes a number of quality of life changes as well as several text, cosmetic and gameplay fixes. 1.6 also introduces a number of balance changes that will impact combat, skilling and your relationship with your ingame spouse.
