What’s In Stardew Valley’s 1.6 Update?
We don’t know precisely what the patch will entail. However, ConcernedApe has teased numerous particulars about what to anticipate when the replace drops on March 19. In April 2023, he mentioned 1.6 will principally profit modders and in addition consists of new recreation content material. Three months later, in July, he expanded on that “new recreation content material” a bit, tweeting that 1.6 will characteristic a brand new competition, dialogue, objects, and “secrets and techniques”—no matter which means. As unspecific as this all is, it sounds engaging.
But wait, there’s extra (however not a lot). In responding to a Twitter person on February 23, who mentioned the cell model of the sport is fairly buggy (night time doesn’t transition to day, for instance), ConcernedApe mentioned that he’ll tackle these points on cell as a part of replace 1.6.
