Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe recently revealed the reason why Update 1.6 was released on PC before consoles and mobile. Earlier this year, Stardew Valley players on PC were treated to the substantial Update 1.6, which added significant content to the beloved life/farm sim and made a number of important quality of life improvements. Understandably, there are many Stardew Valley fans on other platforms that are eager to dive into the update for themselves.
Part of the fun of a new Stardew Valley update is finding all the new content for oneself. This sense of discovery brings lapsed players back to the game whenever a new update is released. Considering this, it's really no surprise that there are some fans that are upset about the update taking so long to come to consoles and mobile, as they may have had some of the new content spoiled for them.
