I’m just glad he said flat out his next game won’t be on mobile. We wait a year or more and still bugs galore. His console team is much better so I’m sure it will be great once you get it.
1.6 Update Anyone know when 1.6 will come out for switch, or at least a idea?

- Start date
It's actually the same company that handles the console and mobile ports at this point! What I will say is that 1.5 was the first time that team worked on Stardew for mobile, and console and mobile are very different platforms.

I get that they need to test it on PC first buuuuut now there are spoilers when it does come out to us on console...

Spoilers are the worst part of waiting for a game update on a different platform. I think the only big consolation will be that the bugs are being worked out on the PC version first so you won't need to deal with them. Of course there are the bugs introduced by porting to a different platform but fixing one type of bug at a time instead of 2 should make things work better. Crossing fingers!

Avoiding YouTube spoilers is one of the hardest parts of waiting for the update. 
A message from ConcernedApe about the console and mobile ports:

It’s the same message almost. By the time it’s on mobile 1.7 will be out on PC again lol.
Seriously though, my husband being in IT I do understand it’s out of his hands and I’m so glad he was honest about his next game not being on mobile and up in the air about console. I think he’s just got too much on his plate for a one man band. It’s not his fault. I’m glad he still cares to try for us, but I think he’s going to put himself in an early grave. Not a healthy way to live. It’s ok if he needs to let go of the other platforms. Most of us would understand completely his overall health and well being is most important. IT persons are worked too hard around the clock. Tell him to take a break and take care of his self and his coworkers on other platforms first. We can wait.
ETA if you buy the game on steam, have a pc even an older one, you can play 1.6 on mobile device as long as your in the same room. You don’t have to be tethered to a pc. This is what I have been doing. You can’t have large mods on it but my iPad is even running two very small mods through steam mobile. Take that Apple lol!

Oh, and added to what I said- Eric Barone AKA ConcernedApe is not a "one man band". Even as far back as 1.4, he has a small team he works with on the PC version and he outsources the console and mobile ports to a professional game porting company. Please stop spreading the lies that he is a solo dev, because he simply is not.

Nice to see something, even if it isn't much. It really sucks that it's taking so long, and I wish he'd be more forthcoming with details now that the only estimation we had turned out false. I guess we're in for the long haul LOL.

Honestly I'm a little upsettie just since I keep seeing things everywhere about the update, one time the game did need updating but not actually for the update and I got too excited too quick and I'm a bit bummed I'm still stuck being without the update
It's important to credit everyone that has contributed to the game, and I agree we should note that many people have helped worked on Stardew Valley! That said, it's a common misconception, especially since ConcernedApe was a solo dev prior to the game's launch and has chosen to work his next game on his own. We don't need to accuse anyone of lying when correcting something.
