Stardew Valley's latest update adds a new friend to retrieve lost items and more

It’s seven months since the launch of Stardew Valley’s massive 1.6 update and developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is still introducing new features and fixes for the beloved farming life sim; and that continues with today’s 1.6.9 update – released alongside 1.6 for consoles – which, among other things, adds a new friend to retrieve lost items.

More specifically, once Stardew Valley’s 1.6.9 update is installed, players who’ve unlocked and then lost a unique item will find a special shop now materialises in the secret woods at midnight.

Stardew Valley’s 1.6.9 update is available now on PC, and full patch notes can be found on Barone’s website.
