Stardew Valley Suffering From Major Problem on Xbox

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

A significant bug is causing crashes in the Xbox version of Stardew Valley, impacting players' Christmas Eve gaming experience. The issue, confirmed by creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, is linked to a recent patch designed to support the console and mobile release of Update 1.6.

Released in 2016, Stardew Valley is a beloved farming simulator. Update 1.6, launched in November for consoles and mobile, introduced substantial new content including late-game additions, dialogue, mechanics, items, and improved NPC interactions. However, a subsequent patch has introduced an unexpected problem.

Reports on Reddit pinpoint the culprit: the Fish Smoker. Interacting with this item (added in Update 1.6) causes the game to crash for Xbox users running the latest version. ConcernedApe has assured players an emergency fix is underway.
