Stardew Valley developer, ConcernedApe, has announced on social media that a Nintendo Switch patch addressing the game-breaking divorce crash and raccoon shop bugs will be released soon. While these issues have been resolved on PC, mobile, and other consoles, the Switch update is still under development.
Since its 2016 release, Stardew Valley has received numerous updates, adding new content and fixing bugs. Its charming pixel art and relaxing gameplay have maintained its popularity. ConcernedApe's commitment to addressing community concerns is evident in their ongoing efforts to improve the game. A recent update resolved a persistent issue, and the Switch version of this fix is nearing completion.
ConcernedApe confirmed on Twitter that the patch addressing the divorce crash and raccoon shop problems is "still coming," assuring players of its imminent release. Although a specific date hasn't been given, the developer promises a swift rollout. Following the release of update 1.6, these issues (among others) were reported, and have since been addressed on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. An earlier tweet around Christmas announced the Switch patch was in development; now, nearly three weeks later, its release appears imminent.
Stardew Valley Switch Patch Fixing Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop Coming Soon
Stardew Valley's major update 1.6, released on PC in March, introduced significant new content, including new NPC dialogue with personalized gift reactions, the Meadowlands Farm, and additional festivals and events. Visual enhancements such as waterfalls, holiday decorations, and seasonal map variations were also included.
However, subsequent patches inadvertently introduced new problems. The update rolled out to consoles and mobile in November, but players quickly encountered several issues, including game-breaking bugs. A swift emergency patch addressed mobile issues on November 15th, while fixes for other platforms continued.
The Stardew Valley community appreciates ConcernedApe's transparent communication and rapid responses to player concerns. While the Switch patch for the divorce crash and raccoon shop isn't yet available, players can be confident it's actively under development and will be released soon.
