Summary
- ConcernedApe is actively working on resolving issues in Stardew Valley's Nintendo Switch version, specifically the divorce crash and raccoon shop problems.
- The anticipated Nintendo Switch patch will be released "as soon as possible."
- These issues have been fixed 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 announce that a patch addressing the divorce crash and the raccoon shop issues on the Nintendo Switch will be released soon. Since its debut in 2016, Stardew Valley has captivated players with its unique gameplay and charming pixel art, becoming a beloved title known for its relaxing and engaging mechanics. ConcernedApe has diligently updated the game, introducing new content and fixing bugs reported by the community. A significant update in December tackled a persistent issue, and now, the fix is on its way to the Switch.
ConcernedApe shared on Twitter that the Stardew Valley patch for the divorce crash and the raccoon shop is "still coming." While a specific release date for the Switch update hasn't been announced, the developer assures players it will be available as soon as possible. Following the release of update 1.6 in March for PC, which introduced new NPC chats, the Meadowlands Farm, and new festivals, players noticed these issues. Although update 1.6 resolved many gameplay problems, it inadvertently introduced new bugs. These were addressed in subsequent patches for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and an emergency patch was released for the mobile version on November 15. Now, nearly 20 days after ConcernedApe's initial announcement, the Switch patch is nearing completion.

Update 1.6 brought a wealth of new content to Stardew Valley, including personalized gift reactions from NPCs, the new Meadowlands Farm, and new festivals and events. Visual enhancements like waterfalls, holiday decorations, and seasonal world map variants were also added. Despite these improvements, the update inadvertently introduced new issues, particularly on console and mobile versions released in November. The Stardew Valley community has praised ConcernedApe for their transparent communication and swift action in addressing player concerns. While the patch for the divorce crash and the raccoon shop on the Switch is not yet available, players can be confident that the developer is diligently working to release it soon.
