The largest update yet for Stardew Valley, version 1.5, is out now for Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles. Developer ConcernedApe announced on Twitter that the update should be available on all platforms within the next few hours.

This past December, version 1.5 released on PC, and now console players will be able to download and enjoy this big update to the game. The update adds significant content, including “late game” additions.

Just to name a few, it adds a beach farm, which is great for fishing and foraging; advanced options for community bundles, such as randomizing the items needed; split-screen co-op; and tons of new extras such as characters, events, quests, music, and plenty of secrets.
