The numbers from Steamcharts.com don’t lie. As you can see in the diagram above, the update more than doubled the average player base of the beloved simulation game. It reached an impressive peak of 236,614 players, smashing the old record.

Stardew Valley 1.6 is the biggest update the game has received since its launch in 2016, and it has generated enormous excitement among fans worldwide.

However, players on other platforms will have to wait a bit before they can access the update. It’s also worth noting that the numbers above only apply to the Steam version of the game. It’s impossible to have a complete overview of all players unless you’re Eric Barone with access to all of the game’s data.

Nevertheless, this is the update that players have been waiting for the longest, and there’s no doubt that Eric Barone’s efforts are highly appreciated by the large player base he has created.
