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.
