Stardew Valley Patch Notes & Version Details

Browse version-specific patch notes with the full categorized change list: balance adjustments, new content, bug fixes, and localization updates. Select a version to see every recorded change with plain-language context.

Use this page when you need to know precisely what a given update changed — for mod compatibility checks, speedrun route changes, or settling an argument about when a mechanic was introduced.

Version summaries are written for players, not just read from patch files: each release note explains the practical effect — which routes improve, which machines change value, which bugs you no longer need to work around — so the changelog is readable as a strategy feed, not a diff dump.

The detail view groups changes the way players experience them: what now earns more, what new content exists, what stopped crashing. For mod users, the balance section is the compatibility checklist; for speedrunners and perfection hunters, the additions section is the route update.

Choose the exact version from the update archive before comparing saves or mods. A version page is a historical reference, so confirm the platform and current game build before treating a note as a current mechanic.

When a patch changes an item, crop, fish, festival, or profession, follow the linked data page to check the current table and use the calculators with the same values. This keeps a historical note from being mistaken for a live price or schedule.
