When Is Stardew Valley 1.6 Update Coming To Mobile & Console? Release Date & Time

Things have indeed shaken up in Pelican Town as ConcernedApe dropped the long-awaited 1.6 update for Stardew Valley. The update included an extensive changelog (patch notes) highlighting all the exciting goodies awaiting players upon their return; as of this writing, it is currently available for PC.

As it stands, the game's mobile and console versions are still awaiting the announcement of the update's release for these platforms, which has yet to be confirmed. We've compiled this guide to update players on the latest news and developments regarding the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley on mobile and consoles.

When Will The Stardew Valley 1.6 Update Be Available On Mobile & Console?

Now that Stardew Valley's 1.6 update is available for PC via Steam, Linux, macOS, and Xbox Game Pass for PC. Those who have yet to update their game can do so for these platforms, which, if they have yet to enjoy a cozy farming life in Pelican Town, is currently discounted by 20% on Steam until 21st March 2024.

Players on mobile devices and consoles have been eagerly anticipating the update's release; however, how much longer would they have to wait? According to a notice from a moderator on the official Stardew Valley Discord server, there is no official or confirmed release date and time for the 1.6 update for mobile and consoles.

This confirms a tweet by the game's developer, Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, stating that the 1.6 update will arrive "as soon as possible" for these platforms. Mobile players received the 1.5 update in January 2023 after being pushed back from its initial release in 2022, but they won't have to wait two years for the 1.6 update.

It's unclear if the mobile and console releases will be simultaneous or separate multi-platform releases, but the update will soon be available on these platforms. As such, players can stay updated on the latest news and developments by following ConcernedApe on Twitter, where he frequently posts updates, and following the official Stardew Valley Discord server, which we'll update this page with once the information becomes available.
