Oh boy we have some exciting news for stardew Valley because the developer concerned ape has just announced the official release date for the 1.6 update for PC this is what he said it’s the 8th anniversary of stard Valley thank you all for the support over the years today I am announcing the

PC release date for the 1.6 update March the 19th console and mobile will follow as soon as possible guys there it is mark your calendars March the 19th is the official release date for 1.6 for the PC and just like he said himself console and mobile will follow as soon

As possible hopefully within a couple of weeks so 3 weeks away my initial prediction was the 26th of Feb which marked the 8th year anniversary I was expecting the update to drop on that day but instead con dat tweeted on the day I predicted just announcing the release

Date so we at least we got something I knew something was going to happen on the 8th year anniversary can you believe it’s almost been a decade since stardew Valley released it’s absolutely insane I was very close with the prediction 3 weeks off in fact but this is still

Sooner than we thought and I cannot wait he also went on to tweet a few other things one of them saying with a new update on the horizon a world World Wide concert tour under away an official cookbook coming soon and now over 30 million copies sold worldwide star D

Valley is thriving more than ever as always I’m eternally grateful to the players you for making all of this possible that just just reading that is insane over 30 million copies sold can you believe that that is absolutely insane and I agree stardy Valley is popping off more than ever I have no

Idea what it is 8 years later and the game feels more exciting than ever I’m getting the urge to play stard Valley more than I ever have I’m so excited for this game more than I ever have which is absolutely wild and I don’t think it’s

Just the update I just think in general Everything feels right with stard Val it feels like the game I always turn to I’ve tried to play so many games and I just can’t seem to get into them or finish them like stard Val it’s the one

I always go back to I don’t know if it’s just a a Nostalgia but it does something to me this game it’s so cozy it puts me into a different environment a different mood when I play it I forget about all the problems all the worries in the

World I don’t know what it is but the fact that we’re still getting updates 8 years later lots of new content it’s just it’s still more playable than ever I could literally start a new save right now and just have fun if you go on to the official steam page of stard De

Valley you can now see the stardy valley update the announcement and we do have a little bit of a message here as well a bit more information from ape himself and this is the message he said on Steam hello everyone today is stardy Valley’s 8th anniversary that’s a long time I

Can’t believe it’s been so long but the game is doing great especially here on Steam which was the first platform I launched the game on and I’ve always considered it home it’s an honor that stard Valley has been so well received here on Steam and thank you all for

Playing the game and creating a cool Community around it what better day than today to announce the new 1.6 update release date March Mar 19th 2024 this update adds some new content to the game I will release patch notes on the day of launch but I think it would be more fun

For you to just play the update and discover everything yourself the update will work perfectly fine with all of your existing save files but I’d recommend starting a new file to get all of the new stuff in context and because it’s always fun to start a new file you

May even want to start with the brand new Farm type and then he said the same thing he said on Twitter with stard Valley’s thriving as ever and I hope you enjoy the update when it comes I’ll I’ll see you in 3 weeks ape so yeah we know

Kind of roughly what we’re getting with this update it’s a big content update there a lot more than we ever expected and just like the man himself said there I recommend everyone to start a brand new save just experience all this content in context and it’s going to

Make more sense but if you are too far into a save and you don’t want to do that just get into your end game farm and you’ll unlock everything instantly and you’ll have to just unlock and discover as you go it might not make any sense but you still get new content now

I want to take a little look at this screenshot here I always like to dive into the screenshots that we get because sometimes you might get a little sneak peek and information of what the update is I kind of did this with a 1.5 we saw

All of the parrots and the jungle and the tropical island theme I kind of got an idea with the update this one’s been a little bit harder with 1.6 but the kind of theme I’m going with here is some kind of rainforest SL swamp I’m not

Sure but you can see by the trees they’re very bendy viny you can see the vines hanging from them and Moss around them them and again we are seeing a theme with frogs I’ve seen these in every screenshot we’ve got there frogs they’re everywhere which again screams

Like a swamp to me or some kind of wetland where frogs would you know Thrive but we’ve seen something new for the first time here that I want to point out and that is the cute little raccoon here hanging on the letter e I’ve never seen this in stardy Valley we’ve got the

Giant one that you have to feed in the cindersap forest and then it will clear up the entire the valley but he is different he’s brown he’s giant this one is just a normal gray raccoon which I’m trying to think what environment do these live in so because I’m trying to

Break this down I’ve actually Googled where raccoons live like what is their environment and listen to this guys you can find a raccoon’s habitat in a real range of areas from cooler grasslands to tropical climates and from secluded Wetland marshes the best habitats for raccoons are hardwood swamps fresh and

Saltwater marshes and farmland raccoons are most abundant in woodlot and Wetland areas I am saying now I’m calling it guys the new Farm type is going to be some kind of wetland swamp Marsh and that is what this content is going to be focused on that is the theme even with

The frogs and the new trees this makes sense oh my god I’ve just pieced it together is this going to be a new pet is it going to be a new farm animal or is it just going to be some Wildlife that we’re going to see randomly

Wandering around around in the valley or in a new area or maybe even on the new Farm I’m not too sure but it’s always good to see that it’s a very exciting year for stardy Valley a lot is going off right now so I want to talk about my

Plans and what you can expect to see on the channel when this update drops which is literally in 3 weeks time so of course there is going to be spoilers just be aware if you want to discover all this new content yourself maybe don’t click on the videos just yet until

You have because I will be covering lots of different things individually I’m going to be aiming for very short Direct videos no more than 10 15 minutes long kind of showing off individual things so for example we’ll have a little tour of the brand new Farm type I’ll show it off

I’ll talk about the benefits and the negatives and then we’ll also do the festivals the brand new crafting items new buildings or whatever else there is I’m just going to break things down into short videos so then you can kind of click on and see what you want to see

But also I will be doing a brand new 1.6 playthrough starting on the new Farm type trying to get 100% Perfection unlocking the things as we go along naturally and just having fun for the year with a brand new update and yeah a new save file that we can enjoy together

There might be a couple of episodes a week I think it’s going to be fun and that can keep going until whenever you guys don’t want to see it anymore but also the last thing I want to say if you are aware of the series that me and pxil

The other stard Valley Creator if you don’t know who he is I’m sure you do we have done a series together a co-op competitive Series in stardy Valley we’ve done two Series so far where we go head-to-head face a few challenges and see who wins we will be doing a third

Series a final one the trilogy and this is going to be 1.6 related a brand new co-op 1.6 series with pox we did already get halfway through recording but we noticed that 1.6 was around the corner so we kind of stopped because we was using mods we didn’t want it to break we

Didn’t want to lose anything uh and it made sense for us to kind of start fresh when the update drops and we’ll do a brand new 1.6 Series so that’s going to be coming sometime this year I have no idea when maybe a couple of months after

This update can’t wait guys if you super excited for 1.6 smash that like button and make sure you do subscribe and turn on notifications to see lots of the 1.6 content the game will be popping more than ever there’s going to be a lot of new players and all the old ones are

Going to come back and check out the content too I just can’t wait to get started and actually see what concern ape has installed for us because I know a lot of it he’s probably kept himself nice and quiet and secret just like he did with all the other updates and when

You get in and Discover it it’s like oh my God oh my God and it’s just going to be insane guys thank you all for the support I can’t wait to see you in 3 weeks time when we play the 1.6 together join me in discovering this content

Let’s have some fun it’s going to be a blast but until then guys stay safe and stay cozy

  1. Yes! So super hyped. This is my birthday too, so yay lucky me! My kids wanted to know what I would like for my birthday and I said nothing but a card. They are all saving money so that makes sense to me. But I think I will take the 1.6 update for a gift instead! ha ha ConcernedApe's updates are always worth waiting for and I will not forget this date for sure. First time, I have felt good about my birth date in a while. Thank you ConcernedApe and SharkyGames. All my friends and family love Stardew Valley. I introduced SDV to them. I am glad I checked youtube today. Bless you all. 🙂 Take care. Enjoy this update!

  2. sharky, i started playing stardew valley in 2017. i had no idea what i was doing, and after about a year in game, i decided to look up some tutorials on how to play better. i found one of your videos during my search, and i have been subbed ever since. i enjoy watching your videos and streams, and your excitement about this game always makes me smile. can't wait for 1.6 content!

  3. You sound a little different. Are you feeling okay? Can't wait for this update. Looking forward to your future content about it. I'm so ready to start a new farm with my brother on the new farm type

  4. Ah this is a nice surprise! I'm currently looking for a new gaming laptop for work+travelling and depending on when it arrived, I might 'christen' the new laptop by playing 1.6 on it!

    Also Sharky, a little suggestion on your competitive multiplayer series? You should use different variation of the thumbnail for each videos, instead of using literaly the same thing each one. Because to be completely real with you at first I was not interested when I looked at the thumbnails for S1 and then S2 videos. Then I watched the videos and got hooked!

    So like a little variation, maybe some little sneakpeek screenshot or something will really liven it up and make it interesting for viewers(especially new ones) to watch!

  5. Wishlist:
    – Radioactive tools. Gives more reason to farm radioactive ore, and gives Clint more of a purpose lategame.
    – Iridium scythe is confirmed, i hope it will allow harvesting any crop with a simple swing. (There are mods for that, but i want it in vanilla)
    – Improved kegs that can take in multiple fruits and gives multiple wine bottles.
    – Preserves jars need to be cheaper. They cost 8 coal, and more wood than kegs.
    I would cut the price in half.
    – Make Clint's shop open as long as the museum, remove the upgrade option when all tools are upgraded, send finished upgraded tools in the mail, allow purchasing ores and processing geodes while a tool is being upgraded (Robin sells stuff after you order a building)
    – Start with inventory upgrade 1, and add one extra row when fully upgraded. Also make chests one row bigger.
    – Buff retaining soil. Instead of giving x% chance of staying watered, make it guaranteed to stay watered for x days instead.
    – Gems worth 30% more -> 30% chance of a second gem from crystalaria.
    – Metal bars worth 50% more -> 50% chance of a second bar from furnaces.
    – Allow upgrading Junimo Huts. When upgraded it increases its range, Junimos harvest faster and will work even on rainy days.
    – Golden Clock prevents debris on the farm (sticks, rocks and fiber) and make fences last forever. I think it should also prevent open soil from disappearing overnight.
    – Buildings can be placed on torches, destroying them in the process.
    – Give sheep a purpose. Maybe add sheep milk and cheese, make rabbits drop wool much less often or both.

  6. Racoons will have some sort of you leave x at the bin then it will give you y + x. But he may take something extra. Then you'll commission a little house for it and it'll have a little family in a nice cutscene in the winter. That way the cash flow has a memorable emotion attached to it.

  7. I became a Stardew fan at just the right time. I’ve just finished my second Perfection farm and have played something like 900 hours in the last few months. I hope it doesn’t take too long to come to iOS! Though I’m seriously considering getting out my laptop to play the new game…

  8. the raccoon looks so adorable!! i would name it Lieutenant Bites hehe if they would be a new pet type or animal critter to see scampering about in the valley that'd be adorable

  9. Thanks for the info, Sharky.

    I know that you're not exactly someone who has worked on developing the game, but I wonder if it would be possible to have BOTH version 1.5 AND version 1.6 on the same computer but in different installation folders? The reason I wonder is that I have several mods that I am playing 1.5 with — some in which the mod creator has stopped updating them — and also do not want to give up all my progress (well on my way to making 1 billion g) to start a new game.

  10. I live in Raccoon country, lol – around here when the house is in need of cleaning and the family is in disarray, someone might refer to it as "racoons dancing around a dumpster fire."

  11. I’ve been playing since the game was released, bought it on every platform I have, as well as for my entire family, we love playing together, and I just absolutely love this game.

  12. Can’t wait. I had a fall and dislocated and fractured my shoulder 5 weeks ago. I can play for a little while but it’s still painful. I hope desperately it will be healed in 3 weeks so I can play the update.

  13. Kinda sad we lost that season you got part way through! But excited to hear we will get a season with 1.6! Will you be streaming the 1.6 perfection farm? I’d love to see that! 🙂
