Stardew Valley's 1.6 update is set to be epic

Stardew Valley's creator, Eric Barone, has announced that the highly anticipated 1.6 update will be released on PC on March 19, 2024, with console and mobile releases to follow soon after. This announcement was made on the game's eighth anniversary. Barone had previously promised in January 2024 that the update would "absolutely" be released sometime within the year.

 

Initially, the 1.6 update was intended to benefit modders and was described as "not huge". However, it has since grown to include new content such as three new in-game festivals, a new type of farm, new items and crafting recipes, more than 100 new lines of dialogue, and support for eight-person multiplayer on PC. Additionally, this update promises "new late-game content, which expands on each of the skill areas." It is noteworthy that the completion of this update should allow Barone to resume work on his next game, Haunted Chocolatier.

 

Stardew Valley has sold over 30 million copies, with 10 million copies sold in just over a year since the last sales update in November 2022. This is a remarkable achievement for a game that is now eight years old. Barone has expressed his gratitude to the players for making all of this possible and is excited to continue working on the game.

 

The full patch notes for the 1.6 update have not been released yet. However, the new content promises to be exciting and engaging for fans of Stardew Valley.
