The popular farming sim and ultimate cozy game<\/a>, Stardew Valley<\/em>, dropped a major update on Tuesday after months of anticipation<\/a>. Stardew<\/em>\u2019s 1.6 update has an insane amount of new content that touches every area of the game, from new menus and DIYs, to a new farm layout, new crops, and the ability to have multiple pets and play with seven friends at once. It\u2019s enough updates to make the game feel fresh, but isn\u2019t so<\/em> new that you can\u2019t ease back into a beloved farm and toil away.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note here that the free update is currently only available for PC players<\/strong>. The update will come to mobile and consoles like the Nintendo Switch later on. If you’re not a PC player, the 1.6 news has not changed gameplay, and you’ll be able to play normally while you wait for it to show up. If you don’t have the game yet on PC, you can purchase it on Steam for $15<\/a>, and it works on PC, Linus, and Mac computers.<\/p>\n

As soon as the PC update arrived, I opened up Stardew Valley<\/em> and started a file with the brand-new farm layout (which has me very broke) to dive right in. The update also works on your existing Stardew<\/em> files, and I\u2019ve been bouncing back and forth between my brand-new file and a later-game file to see what\u2019s new in different seasons. Everywhere I look, I see something new. Moss to forage off trees! New reactionary dialog from NPCs! A prize machine in the mayor\u2019s house!<\/p>\n

If you hate spoilers, I\u2019m honestly not sure why you read this far, but you should definitely stop reading. I\u2019m about to tell you about some of the biggest changes I\u2019ve spotted since playing the updated game.<\/p>\n
