Stardew Valley really is one of those evergreen games that continues to bring in thousands of players each evening, all of whom are looking to unwind in their own little slice of paradise(ish). Originally created by just one person, Eric Barone, known to many as ConcernedApe, the game became spectacularly popular, and it continues to have one of the most dedicated audiences around.
As such, it was huge news when it was confirmed that the game was getting a 1.7 update, particularly after many had assumed that the creator's attention had largely turned to his next game, Haunted Chocolatier. Now, we finally have an update on when we can expect to see the 1.7 update, and it might be considerably bigger than we were first expecting.
In case you aren't familiar with the situation up to this point, Eric Barone confirmed that he was working on a 1.7 update for the game, after many thought that 1.6 could be where it all ended. That was all the way back in August 2025, and things have been quite quiet on that front since, though the developer's track record means the gathered audience wasn't too worried.
As first reported by Gamesradar+, Barone...
