ConcernedApe has continuously updated the game, introducing new content and fixing bugs reported by the community. In December, the developer addressed a persistent issue, with the update now approaching its release on the Switch.

ConcernedApe recently used Twitter to reassure players that the Stardew Valley patch fixing the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues is "still coming."

Stardew Valley's significant update 1.6 was released for PC in March, introducing a wealth of new content, including visual enhancements like waterfalls, holiday decorations, and seasonal world map variants. However, while update 1.6 resolved many gameplay issues, it inadvertently introduced new problems when rolled out to console and mobile versions in November. Players quickly identified several game-breaking bugs, prompting an emergency patch for the mobile version on November 15. The developer has been diligently working on fixes for the other platforms.

The Stardew Valley community appreciates ConcernedApe's transparent communication and swift action in addressing player concerns. Although the patch fixing the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues on Switch is not yet available, players can be confident that the developer is committed to releasing it soon.
