Stardew Valley Suffering From Major Problem on Xbox

Stardew Valley's Xbox Version Hit by Critical Crash Bug; Emergency Patch Incoming

A significant game-breaking bug has emerged in the Xbox version of Stardew Valley on Christmas Eve, impacting players' gameplay. Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has confirmed the issue and assured fans a swift resolution is underway. The problem stems from a recent patch intended to support the console and mobile release of Update 1.6.

Released in 2016, Stardew Valley is a beloved farming and life simulation game. Update 1.6, launched in November for consoles and mobile, introduced substantial new content, including endgame features, dialogue, mechanics, items, and improved NPC interactions. However, a subsequent patch has introduced an unexpected consequence for Xbox users.

The culprit appears to be the Fish Smoker, a feature added in Update 1.6. Interaction with a placed Fish Smoker in the latest Xbox version triggers a game crash, rendering the game unplayable. ConcernedApe has acknowledged this critical bug and is actively working on an emergency patch.
