If Stardew Valley 1.7 is ever a thing, it sounds it'll release on PC, console, and mobile at the same time

Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has repeatedly said he doesn't intend on ever fully closing the book on his beloved farming sim, and while he also has yet to confirm for certain whether it'll ever get another update, he does want to change the way he announces and releases them.

In an interview with Bobby Lee's TigerBelly podcast (timestamped here), Barone is (jokingly) confronted about the delay between 1.6's launch on PC and its release on other platforms. The massive update launched in March 2024 on PC and in November 2024 for console and mobile platforms.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
