Stardew Valley Creator Gives Update on Upcoming Switch Patch

Stardew Valley's Nintendo Switch update is imminent, addressing critical bugs.

ConcernedApe, the game's creator, has confirmed via social media that a patch resolving the game-breaking divorce crash and raccoon shop glitches is nearing release on the Nintendo Switch. While these issues have been fixed across PC, mobile, and other consoles, the Switch version's patch has been under development.

The highly anticipated update follows the launch of the significant 1.6 update, which introduced substantial new content, including additional NPC dialogue, a new farm type (Meadowlands), and enhanced visuals. While 1.6 initially resolved many problems, subsequent patches inadvertently introduced new bugs.

ConcernedApe's commitment to addressing player concerns is evident in their frequent communication and swift action. While a precise release date for the Switch patch remains unannounced, the developer assures players it will be available "as soon as possible." The community appreciates the transparency and ongoing efforts to deliver a smooth gaming experience.

The upcoming patch will bring the Switch version in line with other platforms, ensuring players can enjoy the full extent of Stardew Valley's 1.6 update without encountering these frustrating glitches.
