The latest update to added a lot of changes, including even a new farm, and among the list of content that was added were many new items for players to discover in the game. From decorative things such as new wallpapers and furniture, to impressive new machinery to make a farm into a high-profit operation, 1.6 has a bit of everything. Of course, players are also now able to put hats on cats and dogs, which should deserve at least a mention among the coolest items in the new 1.6 update.
Stardew Valley Anniversary Reveals Update Release Window, Over 30 Million Copies Sold | Push Square
05.03.2024 - 21:29 / pushsquare.com / Eric Barone
In celebration of cosy farming sim Stardew Valley's eighth anniversary, sole creator Eric «ConcernedApe» Barone has revealed roughly when we can get our dirt-smeared hands on the game's eagerly anticipated 1.6 update, which is shaping up to be a real doozy.
Barone revealed the PC release date for the update is 19th March, and to consoles like our beloved PS4, «as soon as possible.» Further, with a worldwide concert tour underway, a cookbook coming, and the news that the monstrous farming phenomenon has moved more than 30 million copies since launch, Barone let us all know how filthy rich he is in the most socially acceptable way possible: by thanking the fans.
Began in 2012 and released in 2016, Stardew Vallew was a labour of love that Barone undertook alone, reportedly working ten hours a day, seven days a week, for four-and-a-half years, and supported in some form or another ever since. As the sole designer, programmer, animator, artist, composer, and writer, he's way more talented than any one person has a right to be and must just be insufferable at parties. We wish him all the best and eagerly await news of Haunted Chocolatier, which was temporarily put on ice so Barone could return to Stardew Valley.

What could ??? mean?
Will you, too, return to Stardew Valley for one last whip around the farm? Let us know in the comments section below.
Khayl Adam is the second-best video game journalist Australia has ever produced, and his ambitions of world domination have (thus far) been curbed by the twin siren songs of strategy games and CRPGs. He has always felt an affinity for the noble dachshund, the best kind of dog.
The amount of free content this guy's released over the years… it's just insane. Quite often when I'm feeling the pull to return to the Valley, it coincides with a new update. I've been feeling the pull for the last few months but am holding off for 1.6. New dialog, a new celebration, winter clothing, a new farm map, this is going to be amazing!
Hard to believe one guy created all this, an amazing amount of work has gone into this game. I don't think I could keep motivated over all those years to craft something like that. He deserves all the success he's had really.
One of the few games I've purchased in recent memory where I paid full price, and didn't regret it at all.
Eric Barone/ConcernedApe is a saint!
Crazy numbers considering that some of the most popular franchises haven't sold anywhere close to that.
