Stardew Valley loyalists have an opportunity to showcase their cats and puppies wearing adorning cowboy hats thanks to the ‘Hats on Cats and Dogs’ feature coming to the 1.6 update, as announced by the game’s creator, Eric Barone. Fans of the pixelated adventure game have been thrilled since there has been no definitive time frame for the new version’s release.
The 1.6 update is the latest installment of Stardew Valley since the release of version 1.5 in December 2019. It offers a variety of new additions and updates like a highly-anticipated split-screen co-op multi-player mode, saving on all devices after starting a game on one, a surprise fruit tree bearing random types of fruit, and the ability to give bachelors and bachelorettes new haircuts.
The ‘Hats on Cats and Dogs’ feature arriving with the 1.6 update has certainly been the most exciting. Although players won’t be able to equip these hats on the farm’s livestock, they will have the ability to place them on their various pets already living in their cabins. Thankfully for the creative gamers, 1.6 will offer 24 something hats for players to choose from!
Barone also announced that the 1.6 update will be the last to expand Stardew Valley’s content. Other updates in the future will focus on bug fixes and other quality of life improvements. The release time frame for the update was not specified; however, the announcement has hype levels off the chart for the Stardew Valley fan base.
