Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe has revealed two more changes coming in Update 1.6, set to drop for PC gamers on March 19. Stardew Valley fans have been waiting ages for Update 1.6, but the wait will soon be over.
Stardew Valley Update 1.6 releases March 19 for PC, with other versions to follow at an undetermined point later on. The update has been hotly anticipated by the Stardew Valley community, as it will be adding substantial new content to the beloved game. ConcernedApe is keeping much of Stardew Valley Update 1.6 a secret, with fans having to play the game for themselves to see all that's been added and changed.
While Stardew Valley fans will have to dive in to the game post-update to see all the new content, ConcernedApe has teased them with a couple of non-spoiler patch notes. The first Stardew Valley Update 1.6 patch note has revealed that the patch will fix a bug that made it faster to harvest left-to-right than right-to-left. Now both methods will be equally fast. The second patch note shared that the area of effect for downward-facing melee attacks is being extended. A new patch note is going to be revealed each day leading up to Stardew Valley Update 1.6's release on March 19, so fans have more to look forward to this week.
These quality-of-life tweaks are small on paper, but they should go a long way in improving the Stardew Valley experience even further. It will be interesting to see what other improvements are coming with Stardew Valley Update 1.6. If all goes as planned, the game should be in a much better state than it was pre-patch, which is saying a lot, since many already consider Stardew Valley one of the best games ever made.
Some fans of ConcernedApe's work may be more interested in his next project, Haunted Chocolatier. Once Stardew Valley Update 1.6 has been released for all platforms and its bugs have been squashed, ConcernedApe will be returning his attention back to Haunted Chocolatier development, so updates on that project should
