Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update is finally arriving on mobile devices! Console and mobile gamers can rejoice as the massive update launches on November 4th, 2024, following its March 2024 debut on PC.
What's New in Stardew Valley Update 1.6 for 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 construction projects like never before. Two exciting fishing festivals, the Trout Derby and SquidFest, join the seasonal event lineup, alongside the Desert Festival.
Explore the new Meadowlands Farm map, ideal for livestock and convenient fishing opportunities. Enhance your relationships with over 100 new NPC dialogue options, adding depth to your interactions with Pelican Town's residents.
Stardew Valley 1.6 introduces a plethora of new items: a Big Chest (nearly double the capacity of a standard chest), a dehydrator for preserving fruits and mushrooms, a heavy furnace, and a bait maker for crafting specialized fish lures.
Customization options abound with new furniture styles and over 25 new hats. Earn prize tickets through quests and festivals, redeemable at a prize machine located in Lewis' house.
After fully befriending your initial pet, you can now acquire multiple pets, each potentially bringing gifts. And yes, you can even put hats on your adorable companions! Notice the charming winter outfits donned by the NPCs.

Reasons for the Delay
The delay in releasing Stardew Valley 1.6 for mobile and consoles allowed the developers to thoroughly test the update on PC, ensuring a smoother launch and minimizing bugs. November's arrival marks the culmination of this meticulous process. Prepare for new fishing events, adorable pets, and exciting new crops!
