I believe part of the reason we don't have a concrete release date is that the developer doesn't want to promise a date that then turns out to be unrealistic due to unforeseen complications. He doesn't want the porting process rushed, which would cause it to be released with avoidable bugs, or have to repeatedly announce later and later dates. This is not the industry standard, but it just shows how messed up it is to promise things on inflexible schedules.

I'm happy to wait as a result. I'm still enjoying the game cuddled up in bed with a sleepy bunny. And, of course, the wait lets me read up on all the new stuff so I don't get anxiety from not knowing what to do.

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.

Yesterday my husband streamed my iPad through my computer through steam. It played 1.6 just fine on my iPad, mods and all. I don’t know what on earth the hang up is with mobile, it’s obviously ready to go. Who knows. But I thought it was way cool.

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.

This weekend marks 53 days (the time it took from PC to consoles with v1.5) and I’m crossing my fingers but not holding my breath lol. Excited to eventually play but I know it’s worth the wait.

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!

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.

I’m waiting for mobile so believe me I understand. Mobile will likely be well into 2025 at this rate.

ETA: CA said it’s out of his hands as a different crew works on console and yet another for mobile. Who knows. I have a hunch mobile is up in the air as whether it will make their game stores enough money. Big corps are like that. 🙄
