Last month, after a long wait, Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone rolled out the Version 1.6 update on PC.
He mentioned back in February how the console and mobile release would follow as soon as possible and now a few months on, he's reiterated this on social media, while thanking fans on platforms like Switch for their patience and understanding. Here's the latest update in full:
ConcernedApe: "Console and mobile 1.6 — They are in progress and will be released as soon as possible. I have no specific release date, but I will give updates if there is anything significant to share. I really appreciate your patience and understanding."
So, the console version is "in progress" and any significant developments will be shared. When Version 1.6 does arrive on Switch and other platforms, you can look forward to new festivals and events, a new farm type, visual improvements, and much more.
You can check out the full changelog for Version 1.6 (note: contains spoilers). There's also an alternate version of notes on the Stardew Valley wikipedia. The PC version is currently up to Version 1.6.3 and you can view these patch notes below:
Will you be checking out this next big update for Stardew Valley on Switch? Let us know in the comments.

Great game. What a developer!! Can’t wait for his haunted chocolatier game as well!!
It's one of the games I point to when devs or publishers talk about the ballooning costs of development. We really don't need ultra hd assets and raytracing in everything. Just make good games and try to find holes in the market. Seems Nintendo figured that out a while ago.
well, let's wait
I ended up playing through 1.6 on my Steam Deck, so when it finally drops on Switch, I'll just pass.
The changes were great little improvements, some nice QoL features. But really, the game remains just as addictive and worth playing as always.
Anyone know if there’s a way to x out of the NL site videos that follow you as you scroll down? I think it’s new this week, I don’t like it, and it’s much more bothersome than the pop up ads.
And just after I bought the game on Steam 🙃 nah this game is so worth it even twice over.
@Bondi_Surfer he's a lovable guy for sure. Seems very unspoiled and kind-tempered.
Patience my spoiled cabbage! But no seriously, stoked to get back into this. I haven’t truly gotten into it since 1.3 was released. Great game, and truly amazing developer! Take your time Sir, we appreciate your love for this game and the continued support you’ve given it, and the community!
I need this update! I can’t wait!
Do we really need a news to tell us there is nothing new every time he tweets?
Love to see it, looking forward to this update coming to Switch, too!
@Heartless666 They're professionals, I'm sure they can figure it out
This has been in my backlog for over a year, but archived it when I heard that 1.6 will be coming to switch. Soon as this drops I will redownload and finally start a first playthrough
Happy to wait, I will start a new save when this drops
(Looks at copy that I owned for years yet never played) ...I really should play this someday.
Cool the game still gets updates. Just not for me. Will never get the thrill of playing life simulator games when you're already living the mundane life. Who wants to be a farmer when you can be a farmer irl? Give me jetpack and wild explosions any day, I play to escape the tedium of life, not to simulate it in pixel graphics.
@Blast16 Ad Guard my friend. Have yet to see what junk they're trying to sell me here.
Hurry up. We gonna start a riot
@dodgeskill100 thanks! Unfortunately, the ads don’t bother me, as I can X them out if needed. But now, on my phone at least, anytime NL posts their own video in an article and you scroll, the video follows you no matter where you go on the page and it eats up a large percentage of screen real estate. I find this just as bad as an ad, but it’s actually a choice made by NL from what I can tell.
