For a game made by a single person,Stardew Valleyhas an unbelievable amount of content already. Despite that, years after launch, we’re all still eagerly anticipating yet another content update coming to the game that will bring it to version 1.6. This update was announced in April 2023 but ConcernedApe has been rather tight-lipped on the full scope of features and additions this update will bring. With so many possibilities and rumors floating around, we’ve collected only the freshest bits of info you need to know about what you can look forward to.
When is the 1.6 update coming out?
It's the 8th anniversary of Stardew Valley. Thank you for all the support over the years! Today I am announcing the PC Release date for the 1.6 update: –March 19th–. Console & Mobile will follow as soon as possible.pic.twitter.com/dMEFydjSqC

The 1.6Stardew Valleyupdate will be available on March 19 for PC players. As far as console and mobile players are concerned, we don’t know when you can get this update just yet as ConcernedApe simply stated that they “will follow as soon as possible.”
Everything new in the 1.6 update
We got a little tease of what the 1.6 update will bring to our farms, and the list is expansive, yet somewhat vague. Here is everything officially listed to be coming:
There have been a few teases as to what other items could be included, such as apost of a Big Chestwith a description that reads, “It can store almost twice as much as a regular chest”, andanother postthat simply featured the text “iridium scythe,” which doesn’t currently exist in the game.
While those are almost guaranteed to be included, we still need to wait until March 19 to be sure. We expect plenty more secrets and unexpected surprises when the date arrives.
