Stardew Valley Dev Finally Finishes Playing The Game, Says 1.6 Update Is Coming To Console Next Week
Eight years after its 2016 launch, Stardew Valley developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has finally completed 100% of the game he created.
Naturally, Barone–who single-handedly crafted every inch of Stardew Valley, from its art to its soundtrack to its code–has completed full start-to-finish playthroughs of his game in the past. But this week, Barone revealed that he’s recently completed the game in its entirety by unlocking all of Stardew Valley’s 49 Steam achievements–and that the game’s 1.6 update now has a concrete release date for console and mobile devices.

“I had to do it over a couple days because I was on a multiplayer farm,” Barone told a curious fan on Twitter. “But I didn’t ‘cheese’ it with the reloads, it was a legitimate no-death run.”
