Stardew Valley Switch Patch Update Announced by Creator

Summary

• ConcernedApe is actively addressing issues in Stardew Valley's Nintendo Switch version, including the divorce crash and raccoon shop problems.
• The anticipated Nintendo Switch patch will be released "as soon as possible."
• These issues have already been resolved on PC, console, and mobile platforms, but the Switch patch is still in development.

Stardew Valley's developer, ConcernedApe, has taken to social media to update fans on the upcoming Nintendo Switch patch, which will fix the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues. Since its launch in 2016, Stardew Valley has enchanted players with its unique gameplay and charming pixel art, becoming a beloved title known for its relaxing mechanics. The game has seen continuous updates from ConcernedApe, not only adding new content but also fixing various bugs reported by the community. A significant issue that surfaced around December was addressed in an update that's now close to being released on the Switch.

ConcernedApe recently reassured players via Twitter that the Stardew Valley patch for the divorce crash and raccoon shop is "still coming." Although a specific release date hasn't been announced, the developer promised it would be available as soon as possible. Following the rollout of update 1.6 on PC in March, which introduced new NPC chats, the Meadowlands Farm, new festivals, and visual enhancements like waterfalls and seasonal world map variants, players encountered several issues. These problems were quickly addressed on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, with an emergency patch for mobile versions released on November 15. The Switch patch, announced around Christmas, is now nearing its release, nearly 20 days later.

The community has praised ConcernedApe for their transparency and swift action in addressing these issues. While the patch for the Switch that fixes the divorce crash and raccoon shop isn't available yet, players can be confident that the developer is diligently working to release it soon.
