Stardew Valley is an indie game that took the world by storm. Just one person, ConcernedApe, created it. While working on Haunted Chocolatier, he continues to release consistent updates for Stardew Valley across all platforms. The latest major update was uploaded for the game's PC version in March 2024, with players on other platforms still waiting to release 1.6.

As players eagerly await the news of when the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley will come to other platforms, ConcernedApe has released a small statement on X to reassure fans that it is still a work in progress.

"The ports and the next PC update are still in progress. I know it's taking a long time; it's on my mind every minute. I have personally been working on the mobile port every day. I will announce when I have any meaningful news." Most of the fan base supported this and appreciated his efforts.

Some players in the thread had a few additional questions they wanted answered from ConcernedApe. A discussion regarding free DLC and updates was initiated when someone tweeted in response to his statement asking about pricing. In the replies, the developer said they will "never charge money for an update or a DLC as long as I live." They also joke that they could "screencap this and shame me if I ever violate this oath."

Stardew Valley has been a massive addition to the cozy game genre, with many people loving the game and finding it easy to sink hundreds of hours into it. While it may look like a simple farming game, there are plenty of quests, mini-games, and stories to hear and unlock as you progress through the game.

This farming game is so popular that it received an orchestral performance that traveled worldwide for fans to experience live in concert. The developer has spoken out at events regarding how well Stardew Valley has done over the years.

Stardew Valley has officially sold over 30 million copies as of February 2024 and hit a milestone with a brand-new all-time player count with the release of the 1.6 update. With the potential for more updates on the horizon, Stardew Valley could soar to new heights thanks to the creativity of ConcernedApe.
