Stardew Valley Is Still on Track
Last month, the creator of Stardew Valley Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone announced that the Version 1.6 Update will release on 4th November. Since then, everyone is still waiting for the update to drop, but here’s some good news: “Everything is still on track”. The game’s console version is on track to launch within the expected release window.
When the update rolls out on consoles, it will come as Version 1.6.9, keeping things in sync with the PC version. The developer said in his X post: “Everything is still on track for Nov. 4th: 1.6 update on Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS & Android. All platforms will also receive the new 1.6.9 update, including PC.”
Barone confirmed that you can continue with your old save, but you might miss out on some new dialogue and the chance to try the new farm type. He also mentioned that some of the new content might feel more enjoyable if you start a brand-new playthrough, giving you the full experience from the beginning. Once this is done, Barone plans to wrap up his next game, Haunted Chocolatier.
In the meantime, you can check out the full changelog for the Version 1.6 Update on the official Stardew Valley website.
