Stardew Valley receives major 1.6 update and introduces new online peak on Steam

Stardew Valley developer ConcernedApe has released the long-awaited 1.6 update for the game, which introduces many changes.

Here's What We Know

If we start listing absolutely everything that ConcernedApe has added or changed, we will be sitting here for a long time.

Therefore, here is a short list of some of the innovations:

• Added the Desert Festival, a three-day event in the spring that you can get to after the bus is repaired.
• Two mini fishing festivals have been added: Trout Derby and SquidFest.
• Added a new environmental "event" in the summer.
• Added a "skill" system that can be accessed in a new area that provides powerful perks and items
• Added a new type of farm: Meadow Farm. It grows chewy blue grass that animals love.
• Added many new dialogues with NPCs

A full list of changes and innovations can be found here.

It is worth noting that the update is only available on PC. It will be available on other platforms later.

The update also brought the game's online peak to 146 thousand players on PC. And at the time of writing, 75 thousand players are playing Stardew Valley at the same time.

Where To Play

Stardew Valley is available on PC, Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, and phones.

Flashback

Stardew Valley is a pixelated farm simulator where we got our grandfather's old farm in the Stardew Valley and now we have to go there and start a new life. In the game, you can develop the farm, fish, raise cattle, communicate with the inhabitants of the valley, go on adventures and just have a good time alone or with friends.
