Stardew Valley update 1.6 Switch release date

Fans have been wondering when the big version 1.6 update for Stardew Valley will be heading to Switch, and ConcernedApe shared that news today. The patch goes live on November 4, 2024.

For those that haven’t been keeping up with everything, the 1.6 update brings along a truckload of content, changes, and fixes. New festivals and events, a “mastery” system, and new NPCs are just a few of the many highlights.

Here’s the full rundown of the update:

Stardew Valley free updates DLC

Over on social media, Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe pledged that the studio will never charge fans for DLC or updates.

While some updates are free, many other games these days often charge extra for DLC that introduces new content. Stardew Valley, meanwhile, doesn’t followed that model. ConcernedApe brought out significant updates for its game over the years which have always been free.

Stardew Valley 1.6

Original (7/17): It turns out that ConcernedApe isn’t done with Stardew Valley, and the game is going to be receiving another round of new content as part of version 1.6.

Technically this isn’t the first time that we’re hearing about this. ConcernedApe did confirm plans for version 1.6 in April, but mainly said it’s “changes for modders” and that there would be “much less” content than version 1.5.

stardew valley switch online trial

Original (6/7): Stardew Valley will be the next Game Trial for Nintendo Switch Online in Europe and Japan, Nintendo has announced.

In both regions, the game can be played for free with an active subscription between June 13 and June 19. The entire experience will be available, and progress can be transferred to the full version.

Haunted Chocolatier

ConcernedApe, the developer of Stardew Valley, just unveiled its next game Haunted Chocolatier.

The two titles are similar in that they’re both a “town game”. Players will move in to a new town “and try your hand at a new way of living.” That means talking with townspeople, achieving your goals, and making progress in a number of ways. But Haunted Chocolatier is described as more of an action RPG, and the chocolate shop is the focal point rather than a farm. It’s also been said that there are no plans for multiplayer at this time.

Stardew Valley

A new 1.5.4.1 update is now available for the Switch version of Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe has announced.

Two specific issues have been addressed. Along with a fix for a blue floor bug, the developer has also addressed a zoom/tile offset issue.

ConcernedApe is planning another patch as well. Other bugs will be fixed, including the shaking stones and the mummified bat issue.

ConcernedApe has previously said that version 1.5 includes major late-game content. It’s been described as “by far the biggest solid chunk of new content that’s been added to the game since launch.”
