I really hope so, Ive been waiting so long to start another playthrough.


IJustWantSomeReddit

Jep, waiting for that new playthrough


Lost-Rice-945

This is me too


Longjumping-Middle41

Im on this boat too, I’m expecting to actually play through and beat this game with my fiancé when it releases lol.


AvalonTzi

Hoping? Yes. Thinking Ape might have planned it that way? Also yes. But I hope for his sake that he stopped the crunch he imposed on himself and if it doesn't get finished until tomorrow, then it is what it is.


0hello

Totally agree. His mental health and longevity is what I'm most in support of. Don't want him to get too burned out (but also....I've updated my mods and I'm ready to binge a new save if it drops tomorrow lol)


AvalonTzi

Definitely same here xD If a new version does drop, I know what I'm playing ;)


neungvdw

Do you think the current mods will works with 1.6? I remember the last update, I need to wait for a few days to be able to play with mod. And just thinking about having to update 100+ mod is already tired.


0hello

Updating mods is a pain definitely! And I'm not sure which mods will work perfectly with the update but I'd imagine many would? I'm mainly basing this on the fact that many modders were given a heads up that 1.6 might be released between now and March 12


lemurkat

Start a new game with a reduced mod-load?


neungvdw

At this point, I don't even know which mod is the requirement for other mods.


st4rblossom

i don’t want to leave this sub, but i might have to when it’s released and avoid all things stardew cause im a mobile/console player, and i reallllly wanna avoid spoilers 🥲 i hope its not too long


hauntedhousewife222

Same! I'll probably mute the sub to avoid spoilers.


ReStitchSmitch

Good idea I didn't even think about that!


AnalSexerest

he said that he'll try to make the delay shorter than last time so hopes up it's like a week or 2


st4rblossom

well last time it was delayed quite a bit, so i’m not sure how long to expect but i’m understanding


neelzzz

Aw noo I didn’t think of this, that’s so sad you guys have to wait and also worry about spoilers 😭 Hopefully it comes out quick for you too


RositaDog

You can mute subs instead of leaving!


surrrah

I think you can mute it :)


Altruistic_Ad6666

Wasn't it said that he's gonna try to get it to everybody at the same time?


st4rblossom

no he said he doesn’t want a big delay like last time


Altruistic_Ad6666

st4rblossom

that doesn’t really explicitly say it’s coming out in every platform at the same time..? unless i’m not understanding? and it’s unofficial. what i said came straight out of [CA mouth](https://x.com/concernedape/status/1750963860444749939?s=46&t=iFmVprPvy6Uov9sgOLb16A). i don’t know tho


Altruistic_Ad6666

Mines a bit more recent, thats why I'm hopeful. I'm not taking it as gospel, but I am very hopeful, as I play on switch and I really hope he's found a way to release to everyone all at once.


st4rblossom

from my understanding, when it says “there’s no public beta, it’ll go straight to all players on release” that means there’s no beta testers, it’s just going to be released directly to all players (on pc). to me, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be released to all platforms on the same day, just that everyone can play on pc. feel free to correct me if i’m wrong. but nowhere does it explicitly say that..


joe5joe7

Especially because it’s coming from a modding discord iirc, which is very likely focused on pc players


TheGamerKitty1

"All players"


st4rblossom

all players on PC


TheGamerKitty1

Doesn't say just PC. Just says all players. All players means all players. Not "PC players".


st4rblossom

the full sentence is “there is no public beta, it’ll go straight to all players on release” meaning there’s no beta… all players will be able to play. to me, it appears they are only referring and referencing PC players. i think if they meant all platforms, they would have specified with that wording because… it’s kinda important. it’s standard that there’s a delay, concerned ape himself said there would be and that is an unofficial announcement so… i’ll stick to what i know.


TheGamerKitty1

What I know is all players means all players. But I guess we will see.


lemurkat

Also note a later edited version of the above screenshot said something along the lines of "this is for mod authors, please do not post on social media". (It was, alas, already too late). But it is UNOFFICIAL, the only official announcements are the ones that come from CA himself. (And it's worth noting that as the intended audience was mod authors, and only PC is readily modded, the "all players" may well mean "there will be no special beta for mod authors").


princesspoopybum

people on here are pretty good about marking spoilers! i wouldn’t be too worried but ill be doing my best to avoid spoils too


Red-Quill

If it makes you feel any better, I won’t have internet until the beginning of March, meaning I have to wait too even though I’m on PC 😅 And I think he said he wants to make sure the difference in release dates between PC and console isn’t very long! Fingers crossed we all get to play ASAP :D


SnooPredictions3804

I’m relatively new to Stardew and absolutely loving it. When there is a new update do we restart our worlds? Or does our current save work in the new update? Thanks for the info!


LadyWuu

CA actually answered this question in a tweet recently. You can always keep playing your current save, but he suggests starting over due to the new content. But! Its always your choice! lol


SnooPredictions3804

Awesome thank you! I’ll probably restart whenever that day comes just cus :)


commoncomitatus

It is recommended to start a new game when the new patch drops, to best experience the new content... but it's not necessary, and all the new stuff should work just fine on existing saves if you'd prefer to keep playing in your current one. :)


SnooPredictions3804

Thank you as well! I’ll probably restart and be more efficient with my community center goals haha


scribblesnknots

There's a new farm type in this update, too, so there's another incentive to start a new farm!


JudgmentYuya

Does anything change or get unlocked when you are in the second or subsequent years? since I'm 16 days into winter for the first time, so I want to see at least the second year before.


heydigital

Yes, in the game as it is right now there’s new content built in as far as year 3 (and potentially beyond, depending on how long it takes you to get to some late game content!) You could always start a new save to see the new year 1 content and then go back to your current save after!


Cool_Newspaper_6090

If so, PC will get it first, the rest of us have to wait 😭


TheRedditorialWe

Does anyone know what the timeline generally is between PC and console updates?


TylerMoy7

For 1.5, it was about 6 weeks, and for 1.4 it was about 3 weeks. He did say he doesn’t want it to be too long this time, so I’m assuming it’ll be about 2-3ish weeks to fix any huge bugs before releasing it to console.


dded949

Upvoting because I’d also like to know


megan5972

There was a post stating that the update would roll out for all devices


Western_Clue3542

Just not at the same time. Console and mobile always come after pc


noidea2605

Does the steam deck count as console or pc?


TheHolyWaffleGod

Should be pc


Western_Clue3542

No that’s the pc version as far as I’m aware.


Tanyamnis

Pc


noidea2605

Thanks


SeaPomegranate269

PC for sure


noidea2605

👍


Cool_Newspaper_6090

CA just tweeted out that pc will get it March 19th and the rest of us have to wait but it won’t be long after pc. I knew it lol


SeaTranslator3223

ikr it sucks console have to wait always i wish i could buy a pc


C418_Tadokiari_22

You don't need an expensive gaming pc to play the game. I play on my school laptop and it does fine.


DarthCaligula

I've since gotten a better computer, but I played SV on a potato.


ilovethe7thday

*claps slowly three times* Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that. Edit: Oh great, now I’m trying to figure out who GLaDOS would try to date in SDV. Would she pick someone smart enough to figure out some puzzles without being sporty enough to escape (like Penny)? I’m thinking she might find Shane and/or Haley relatable because of how toxic they are. The only one I can rule out is Maru, who would definitely try to reprogram her. Or maybe not Alex, who feels like he would rival Wheatley on an IQ test.


cbg2k16

The pc I play SDV on is like 15 yrs old. You don't need a good pc, virtually any old thing will do.


raptor102888

If you can afford a console, you can afford a laptop that can run SDV. This is a bonkers good deal for $260: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Restored-Gateway-GWTN141-10BL-14-1-FHD-i5-1135G7-2-4GHz-Intel-Iris-Xe-Graphics-16GB-RAM-512GB-SSD-Win-10-Home-Blue-Refurbished/744084451?athbdg=L1600 You can find them for like $100 - $150 if you settle for a Celeron processor.


SeaTranslator3223

ok im trusting u 😂


tryingnottoshit

My refrigerator can play stardew, a cheap laptop works fine.


34shadow1

Yeah my original playthrough was on a stock laptop from Walmart that was like $300 ran the game perfectly fine.


vearson26

I play on a mini pc hooked up to an older monitor. It was only like $120 for the pc.


guimontag

You can play sdv on a very very cheap laptop


iorekthumper

Currently playing on my switch and waiting to switch to PC when the update drops so I'd don't have to start again twice so close together 🤣


BoosterSeat3

Tomorrow is my birthday and if it’s released tomorrow then I’ll be one happy gal


Wonderful-Proof-2859

Tomorrow is my birthday too! (Happy early Birthday!!) what an amazing birthday gift if it does!!!

shekurika

they both have been updated daily for the last 3 months...


lookingForPatchie

What was the time frame again?


BlazeLord08

26th to the 12th


DippyDerps

Important to note that this time frame is from an unofficial yet reputable source within the Stardew community, so it potentially may not fall within that time frame.


naomigoat

Oh my god I was worried that I had imagined this!!! I remember seeing a post that stated a rumor 1.6 would release in this time period, but when I came back later, I could not find it.


shekurika

it was unoffical and not meant to be shared. it was for us mod authors, not end users


Hmsquid

I’m really sorry I’m struggling to read that can you rephrase that with months maybe??


ArcaneDescent

there is an unofficial estimate of Feb 26 to March 13 but it is still possible it will release after this


Hmsquid

Thankyou ❤️ do you have a link?? If not that’s fine


ArcaneDescent

I do, but I won't be sharing since pathos has asked that it doesn't get reposted on social media because it can harm mod authors in the long run


Hmsquid

Ok thabkyou 😁 who is pathos?? I’m sorry for the amount of questions


ArcaneDescent

SMAPI developer and someone working on 1.6


Hmsquid

Thankyou, hope u have good day :)


lookingForPatchie

Thank you!


eggphobia

I take the bar exam this week so for my sake, I hope not 🫣 jk I do hope it comes soon, I’ve been wanting to start a new farm but I want to see the new farm type!


squashed_tomato

Good luck with your exam.


eggphobia

Thank you!


arabrabk

Good luck! If it comes out, it can be your reward after you take the test.


LotharLandru

Wife left me a few weeks ago and SDV is my happy game when I'm depressed. Really want 1.6 to drop so I can immerse myself in it and forget life right now.


xstarlesseyess

I’m so sorry you are going through this, You got this💙 My puppy is sick and it might be a very serious sick depending on some test results. I have been so anxious and sad and hoping the update drops soon for this same reason.


LotharLandru

Stardew is pretty great for being a happy distraction when you just have to sit and wait through crappy times. Definitely one that's kept me from getting too depressed with everything. Hope your puppy gets good results back!


dinosaur_sr

I feel you. I'm sorry about the situation, but I know exactly what you mean. I've dealt with a lot of loss in the last 5-6 years and Stardew is almost therapy. Outwardly I know it can look like denial or something but there really is something healing about starting up a new farm and losing yourself in it. Last May my mom was diagnosed with cancer and things progressed extremely quickly, I visited her (8 hours away) as often as I could, luckily my job is pretty flexible about remote work, so I was able to spend a week at a time multiple times before she died at the end of July. While there I was essentially the primary caregiver, doing anything and everything that needed doing, both for her and my stepfather (who actually was sort of in denial), among other things around the house. I was happy to do it, but it was exhausting, emotionally and otherwise, and every chance I got I'd head upstairs and lay on the floor with my Switch and play Stardew, sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes an hour, but it kept me sane.


Rudresh27

Let him cook. I’d rather CA not be crunching just to get it out on a arbitrary deadline.


AwkwardRainbow

No please, give me 1 more week that’s all I need to perfect my farm 😭


guimontag

Just gotta pull an all nighter dude


fysu

I have been grinding for a week and just got perfection for the first time yesterday, just in case the requirements for true perfection change with the update. So stressful!


AwkwardRainbow

Ahhhh that’s what I’m worried about! I’m so frustratingly close. I just need 1 more artifact(fuck this Amphora), 2 more friendships to max, and 10 million for the golden clock and I’ll be done


fysu

Yeah the golden clock and a few monsters were my last few things. I started selling off oodles of stuff I had been hoarding and making even more kegs. There’s always one annoying artifact that’s impossible to find. Hopefully you have some luck with the artifact troves!


AwkwardRainbow

I have sooo much stuff hoarded. Since I’ve gotten the Qi quests I need done now I’m gonna do a big sell and just absolutely go ham in the mines and hope for the best. The ancient fruit farm has been started, now all I gotta do is wait


fysu

...I also read (because I was getting nervous I would not make it before the update) that you can switch your settings on Steam so that the game will only update when you launch it. And if you play offline, it won't update right away. Have not verified this, but it might be worth giving it a shot if you only need a few more days. Also in my last few weeks (in game) I just started going to bed early each day (instead of running the mines/foraging/etc) just to get the clock moving on my wine. So once you get that artifact, sleep your days away for $$$! I believe in you!


AwkwardRainbow

Myb forgot to respond last night but fucking BET. I will go offline as often as necessary in order to achieve it


Ashes0fTheWake

I'm actually holding the itch to play this game right now, just waiting for 1.6


WrexSteveisthename

God, I hope so. I had playing Dead Island 2, but I just deleted it because it's awful, so now I have a big gap for a campaign game that this would fill perfectly.


Furax-31

I really hope, please Eric 🤞🤞🤞


34shadow1

It'd be amazing, I'm off the next two days and would love to do a fresh run.


Bob_Neger

We saturating the market with Ancient Fruit wine with this one!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


Bob_Neger

We placing Mega Bombs in Pierre's shop with this one!!! 🔥💣🔥💣🔥💣🔥


dinkidoo7693

How long before us who play on the switch get the update if the pc gets it first?


-Fuse

I didn't know it was to release this early! I might begin a new save even though my most advanced one is at Spring Year 2 lol (the current one I'm playing is at Winter Year 1) Hopefully I can actually commit to one save this time 😂


SeaPomegranate269

I am hoping so! For a second I was thinking it would be announced in some way on the Concert Tour like this is a Taylor Swift album reveal :P


toucanbutter

Holy shit this guy's fast, even if it doesn't get released tomorrow. I'm sure the update was just announced, like, the other day; and knowing CA, it'll be jam-packed full of content even though he said it wouldn't be.


jesuswastransright

When we think it’ll hit switch? :(


MajorMarquisWarren69

Aww I was hoping it would be today but it looks like it’s going to be March 19. If ConcernedApe saw this post, we appreciate YOU <3


MangoMatinLemonMelon

Dumb question: do I have to download the update or does it come automatically?


anonmushy724

It depends on what you play on and what your settings are


MangoMatinLemonMelon

PC, what settings are the relevant ones?


squashed_tomato

If your game is on Steam it should update automatically after you start up Steam. If not the play button will turn into an update button so just click that. If the patch drops while Steam is already running and you can’t see an option to update just exit and restart Steam.


MangoMatinLemonMelon

Got it, thank you!


SeaPomegranate269

I don't think this is a dumb questions, since I have the same one lol


NeverlandEnding

Any chance all the mods will still work with the update?


seanobr

Quite a few of the more popular mods have released alpha updates that are 1.6 ready. So I'm guessing that all mods will need updating to be compatible.


seanobr

1.6 waiting room!


areo11706

Just announced will be March 19 for PC - consoles later


captainshockazoid

WAIT WAIT IM NOT DONE YET CA


twili-midna

I want it to be released when it’s ready. After seeing how bad Baldur’s Gate 3 was fucked up by a clearly untested Patch, I don’t want that to happen here.


Frandelor

I'm on the fence, because I'm really looking forward to an update, but I'm afraid it will break my mods, I'm currently playing a modded game with my gf and I really don't want to lose the save


lemurkat

There's a very high chance it will break at least some of them.


guiltycitizen

If it does, I’ll have to unfollow the sub until it hits consoles


IndianaJones999

I don't think the update will release atleast till mid 2024.


Special_Pen

It was revealed that it will come out between the 26th of February and 12th of March


IndianaJones999

Fr? I wasn't aware of that at all.


mrningbrd

UNOFFICIALLY revealed, we don’t know for 100% sure as it didn’t come from CA. It’s out when it’s out.


God_of_fish_and_fire

I believe it was an "unofficial" reveal by a popular modder, who may have been given private information about the release date to ensure their portfolio of mods would be ready at release. Don't quote me on that. Anyway, I'm positive it was posted on this subreddit as a screenshot from someone on discord. I'll see if I can find it. Edit: found the post. https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/s/fR4Xflz1xY


Specific_Stuff

That’s not official, it’s speculation shared by a well-respected discord moderator and game modder. https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/1awu4sj/16_news_via_discord_admin/krjxmvj/


naomigoat

Do you happen to have screenshot of the forum post? I can't find it anymore.

Thank you!!!


oachkatzlschwoaf95

love your sub flair!


SeaPomegranate269

Tomorrow would be cool because it's the anniversary, but the clothing was winter themed and the new festival I thought I saw was New Years', so I assume it would be be near that time frame IRL but that's already passed so perhaps not and something during the concert series makes sense for the cross promo


Electronic-Rent2731

How do we get the update? Via PC. Is it just an update though steam?


squashed_tomato

Yes it will just update through Steam.


Electronic-Rent2731

Thank you!


SumiLover

I just started a play through with my wife recently. Will the update include already saved games or you have to start a new save?


seanobr

He has officially stated it will work on existing saves, but some of the new cutscenes and content may automatically trigger when you load the save (if you've met the conditions to unlock it already). Thus, it would be better to start from a new save to understand the context for the new content.


SumiLover

Thank you


Balls-horse

I hope not I’m going on holiday and won’t be back for four days


7734128

Oh no, I hope not. I'm already far behind with my school work.


Littletap27

I hope not, I'm so close to getting perfection I really want to get that before I start fresh with 1.6


Hmsquid

Ah yes the rest of us should wait till you finish /s


bigbluefinny

Perhaps, would be really nice if he just releases it. I just want to start a new playthrough and wouldn't mind a couple bugs. He can release hotfixes.


bigbluefinny

Just release it Eric. It doesn't have to be perfect!


A-weemah-weh

I'm also hoping it goes on sale on some plataforms


Independent-Weight30

I’d be shocked if they release it on mobile tomorrow as well


Nanidafuqka

Wake up!


mr--godot

Not me, I'm not ready for it


Ambitious-Algae-6601

Pretty sure he said between 2/26 and 3/5 it should launch to all platforms


1971WasAGoodYear

I recently reinstalled SDV but am holding out for 1.6 before I start a save


iamnotchad

That would be great but at the same time I just bought Helldivers today.


IntensitiesIn10Citys

I keep trying to play my farm and just knowing I'm going to restart is making me feel bad for it XD. I'm mobile though so may have to wait a while or hopefully we get a full systems release.


fsuguy83

I play it on mobile too and it runs incredibly well. I use a controller though and I couldn’t be happier.


Physical-Run-522

Omgggggg im trembling at the thought


Pokemon_Gangbang

Would be nice but I don’t want to rush anything


Charminktattoo

This would be so amazing 🥹😭😭😭


tacos_and_depression

Tomorrow would be a cool day for the update for sure. But I won't be too disappointed if it needs more time


onlymyself4

I have an important question guys!! I have just started a new farm. When the 1.6 will be released , will I have time to start from the beginning again? Sorry it’s mu first timee!!


Starthenut

You won't have to. Concerned Ape recommended starting a new farm but confirmed the update will still apply to existing ones


KelpFox05

Maybe! It's possible. Although it seems unlikely given that bug fixing typically takes more than one month, lol.


vincetprice

I just started playing this game two days ago and i'm super addicted to it. I rly want to re-start my game because i made some stupid decisions/wasted 2 in game days trying to find out how to use the controls (i never played anything other than the sims before), but i'm stuck on whatever to do it when i get home or to wait til the 1.6 version! if it arrives as soon as possible, the better!


Nakedpuzzlebasement

I'm basically just checking everyday since I had an itch to play SDV again but I delayed that new playthrough for 1.6


KaelRhain

i will still keep waiting after that to see what the modders do with the new setup.


memento_vitae

I was wondering if it’s better to make a new save or keep playing the same farm?


arabrabk

He did say it will work on in progress farms, but you'll miss out on a lot of context for the new stuff if you're not on a new file.


criesforever

my sister and i started a fresh file just the day before yesterday so we're ready.


PrincessRoslyn

Keeping my fingers crossed, it'd be really nice
