The developer of Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe, announced a new 1.7 update during a concert, though no release date or content details are provided.

The creator of Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe, announced that a major update, version 1.7, is in development, though no release date or details about new content have been revealed yet.
A new version 1.7 update for Stardew Valley has been announced by the developer ConcernedApe during a concert tour, but no details on its content or release date are available yet. The update follows the significant 1.6 update released about a year ago, which added new content and features. The developer emphasizes that all updates are free and motivated by love for the game.
ConcernedApe has announced that despite previous plans to pause updates until Haunted Chocolatier's release, there will be another update for Stardew Valley, exciting fans and raising questions about its impact on the upcoming game.
Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone, creator of Stardew Valley, has never earned money from crossovers with other games, choosing instead to do them out of love for the games and to please players. Despite some criticism, he has maintained that these collaborations are driven by passion, and Stardew Valley remains largely independent in its own lane, with over 41 million copies sold.
Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone reassures console and mobile players that the 1.6 update is in progress and will be released "as soon as possible," with no specific release date yet. The update has already been enjoyed by PC players, featuring new content and references, but also allowing players to chug entire jars of mayonnaise, sparking a speedrunning competition. Barone also mentioned progress on his other game, Haunted Chocolatier, which he's eager to continue developing.
Stardew Valley's 1.6 update addresses the out-of-bounds 'summit glitch' by punishing players who exploit it, resulting in the character being beaten unconscious and left for dead on the mountain. The update introduces a consequence for using the exploit, with the in-game character Mr. Qi confronting and attacking the player before they wake up in the hospital. The move has sparked mixed reactions among players, with some finding it creepy and others praising the developer, ConcernedApe, for the creative approach to addressing the glitch.
Stardew Valley's 1.6 update, released by developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, surprises players with a plethora of new features including multiple festivals, a new farm type, a mastery system, and expanded pet interactions. The update also introduces new dialogue, PC lobby improvements, home renovations, and various gameplay tweaks, making it more akin to DLC or an expansion. This substantial update not only enriches the game but also sets the stage for continued community engagement and modding support.
Eric Barone, also known as ConcernedApe, continues to work on Stardew Valley's new update while also developing a new game and co-authoring the official Stardew Valley cookbook. To stay productive, he relies on a Levi’s sherpa-lined Trucker Jacket, Reason Studios for music and sound effects, an organic buckwheat pillow for good sleep, Paint.NET for art, and surrounds himself with natural elements like plants, salt lamps, and unscented beeswax candles to stay grounded and connected to nature.
Stardew Valley's highly anticipated 1.6 update is set to launch today for PC, Mac, and Linux, with the exact release time expected around 11 a.m. PDT / 2 p.m. EDT. The update includes various improvements and additions such as new farm types, color-coded artisan goods, and adjustments to spouse behavior. Mobile and console versions will receive the update at a later date, and players using mods are advised to be cautious as the update may not work as intended with installed mods.

While many mods are already updated for 1.6, some popular ones like All Crops, All Seasons are no longer maintained, prompting players to find alternatives. Barone hinted at the update's release during the day (PST), urging players to try 1.6 without mods but leaving the choice up to them.
Stardew Valley's 1.6 update, launching tomorrow, brings minor fixes and new content, including the ability for players to drink mayonnaise, much to the surprise and amusement of the gaming community.
