Stardew Valley Suffering From Major Problem on Xbox

Stardew Valley's Xbox Version Hit by Game-Crashing Bug; Urgent Fix Underway

A significant bug impacting the Xbox version of Stardew Valley emerged on Christmas Eve, causing widespread game crashes. Developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has confirmed the issue and assured players 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 invites players to cultivate a farm in the charming Pelican Town. Update 1.6, launched in November for consoles and mobile (following a March PC release), introduced substantial new content, including endgame features, dialogue additions, gameplay mechanics, items, and improved NPC interactions. However, a subsequent patch introduced an unexpected consequence.

The culprit appears to be the Fish Smoker, a feature added in Update 1.6. Reports from Reddit indicate interaction with a placed Fish Smoker triggers a game crash on Xbox systems running the latest version. ConcernedApe has acknowledged the issue, emphasizing that an emergency patch is in development.
