Stardew Valley Creator Comments on Update 1.7

Eric Barone, the creator of *Stardew Valley* (also known as ConcernedApe), is asking fans to be patient about Update 1.7. While *Stardew Valley* has received several large updates – including the very popular Update 1.6 which brought in record numbers of players – Barone wants to manage expectations and says it will still be a while before the next major update is released. He’s asking players not to get too excited just yet.

The announcement of a big new update for *Stardew Valley* happened surprisingly during the first concert of the *Symphony of Seasons* tour. The game’s creator, ConcernedApe, quietly mentioned that Update 1.7 is on its way, which received a huge response from fans both at the concert and online. However, he’s since asked players to try and manage their excitement.

When Will Stardew Valley Update 1.7 Release?

ConcernedApe, the creator of *Stardew Valley*, responded to fans asking about previews of Update 1.7. He said more information is coming, but he wants to avoid building up too much excitement right now. He explained the update still needs a good amount of work, so he’s limiting any promotional material. While some fans were disappointed, many offered support, pointing out that ConcernedApe is currently on tour with the *Symphony of Seasons* and has limited time to work on the game. He also wants to avoid the issues that happened with Update 1.6’s release, where the console and mobile versions launched in November 2024, months after the PC version in March.

A major reason for the continued success of *Stardew Valley* is that all updates and expansions have been released for free. The game’s creator, ConcernedApe, has even said he plans to keep future downloadable content free of charge. He seems very enthusiastic about continuing to develop the game, which he’s mentioned before. With consistently free content and a passionate creator, it’s no wonder fans are so excited for Update 1.7.

Stardew Valley is already considered one of the most successful independent games ever made and a standout life-simulation title that helped popularize relaxing, cozy games. Players eager for more can stay updated on the release of Update 1.7 and when it will be available for Stardew Valley.
