Many of you who have your fingers crossed for the release of the highly-anticipated 1.6 version may be slightly disappointed to find that there is no update available.

While the update started with the PC version in March 2024, console and mobile farmers are still waiting to catch a glimpse of this update. ConcernedApe, the creator of Stardew Valley, has been vocal about this and has assured players that he is fine. Unfortunately, the Nintendo Stardew Valley 1.6 on Switch is missing, and the company has not released a specific date yet.
