The long-awaited 1.6 update for Stardew Valley is finally here for players on PC through Steam and GOG. According to a post on the Stardew Valley Discord page, the update should also be available on Microsoft’s PC Game Pass by Tuesday.
But what about players on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices? They’ll have to wait a little longer.
Developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone started hinting about the 1.6 update back in 2023, and fans of Stardew Valley have been eagerly waiting for it ever since. The game hadn’t seen any updates for a few years until the 1.5 patch came out in 2020.
While PC players can dive right into the new content, those on consoles and mobile devices will have to be patient for a bit longer.
Stardew Valley 1.6 Switch Release Date
If you have Stardew Valley on macOS, Linux, or Windows PC, you can update to the 1.6 version now. Just go to where you usually play the game, like Steam, GOG, or Microsoft’s PC Game Pass, and update it. (PC Game Pass players will get the update on Tuesday, but a bit later than Steam and GOG players.)
