Stardew Valley update 1.6 will add a new farm type, a major festival, plus
Stardew Valley will soon receive the 1.6 update, and developer ConcernedApe has done so as well taken to Twitter to give a preview of what we can expect. Instead of just an update that fixes bugs, a lot of new content is added to the game.
While ConcernedApe hasn’t shared any details on what exactly we can expect from the new additions, we do know that a new major festival, two mini festivals, and an entirely new farm type will be available. In addition, new crafting items and recipes will be added, along with new reward types for completing billboard requests.
Multiplayer support on PC also increases to a maximum of 8 players, as opposed to the standard 4, which is pretty big news for anyone with a slightly larger group of farmers. Whether this will eventually be rolled out to consoles is currently unknown.

Even the villagers will be affected by this massive update. More than 100 new lines of dialogue will be added to the residents of Pelican Town, and they will finally receive winter outfits for the colder seasons, something players have been requesting for years.
This is not all either. The full update notes for 1.6 have yet to be shared and ConcernedApe has emphasized that the content in this Tweet is just a teaser and still a work in progress. So while we don’t expect this content to change now that it’s been announced, we do expect some bigger additions to be announced later – and we’re particularly intrigued by a rather vague mention of “more secrets” that’s in the works as well.
Currently, there’s no release date for 1.6, so there’s no telling exactly when you’ll be able to jump back into Pelican Town and experience everything this bountiful update has to offer. But for future sneak peeks of this massive update, it’s worth keeping an eye on this one ConcernedApe’s Twitter page in case anything else is shared in the near future.
