PC gamers have been making the most of the Stardew Valley 1.6 update since March, but those of us playing on consoles are yet to enjoy the mayonnaise and mastery system.

This makes sense, because an update this large takes a lot longer to bring to consoles and mobiles than it does to PC.

But still, fans are impatient to join the fun.

Will the update ever come to Switch, and if so, when?

Let's take a closer look.

Will Stardew Valley 1.6 come to Switch? Console release explained

Yes, Stardew Valley 1.6 will come to Switch. The developer ConcernedApe confirmed that the massive update will launch on all consoles and platforms.

The version 1.6 update originally launched on the PC version of the game back in March 2024, and the intention was always for the PC version of the update to release first and then be followed by consoles and other platforms, including on Nintendo Switch, sometime later on.

Now, we know exactly when it will be.

When will Stardew Valley 1.6 come to Switch?

Thankfully, after a plethora of rumours and speculation, we now have a release date.

Stardew Valley 1.6 will come to Switch on 4th November 2024.

It will also drop on mobile, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
