Stardew Valley Plagued by Xbox Glitches

Stardew Valley's Xbox Version Hit by Game-Crashing Bug: Emergency Patch Incoming

A significant bug has emerged in the Xbox version of Stardew Valley, causing widespread crashes on Christmas Eve. Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has confirmed the issue and assured players a swift fix is underway. The problem, linked to the recently added Fish Smokers from Update 1.6, affects players using the latest Xbox update.

Released in 2016, Stardew Valley is a beloved farming simulator where players build a life in Pelican Town. Update 1.6, launched on PC in March and on consoles/mobile in November, introduced substantial new content, including endgame features, dialogue, mechanics, items, and improved NPC interactions. However, a subsequent patch intended to address minor issues inadvertently introduced a critical flaw.

Reports from Reddit indicate that interacting with a placed Fish Smoker triggers a game crash on Xbox. ConcernedApe has acknowledged the severity of the bug and its connection to the Fish Smoker functionality, promising an emergency patch to resolve the issue. The Fish Smoker, a feature introduced with Update 1.6, appears to be the root cause of the current Xbox-specific crash.
