Stardew Valley 1.6 update patch notes are here, and as expected, there's a lot to cover - more-so than we could've possibly imagined - so let's dive in now that the update's live on PC.
Some of the biggest changes included in the 500-plus-entry list of patch notes are: new festivals and events, including a desert festival in the Spring, two mini-fishing events, and a new "environmental 'event'" in Summer; a new "mastery system" that grants "powerful perks and items"; "many new NPC dialogues"; the ability to get multiple pets; a "big tree" questline that'll give you "some new neighbors"; and a new world map for Ginger Island.
