Stardew Valley's 1.6 Update Is Out--Here's Some of the Biggest Changes (2024)

The popular farming sim and ultimate cozy game, Stardew Valley, dropped a major update on Tuesday after months of anticipation. Stardew's 1.6 update has an insane amount of new content that touches every area of the game, from new menus and DIYs, to a new farm layout, new crops, and the ability to have multiple pets and play with seven friends at once. It's enough updates to make the game feel fresh, but isn't so new that you can't ease back into a beloved farm and toil away. It's important to note here that the free update is currently only available for PC players. The update will come to mobile and consoles like the Nintendo Switch later on.
