Stardew Valley developer, ConcernedApe, has announced via social media that a Nintendo Switch patch addressing the game-breaking divorce crash and raccoon shop bugs is imminent. 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 seen numerous updates, consistently adding content and fixing bugs reported by the dedicated community. This latest patch addresses persistent problems that surfaced after the release of update 1.6.

ConcernedApe recently reassured players on Twitter that the patch fixing the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues is "still coming," though a specific release date hasn't been given.

An earlier tweet around Christmas confirmed the Switch patch was in development.

Stardew Valley Switch Patch: Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop Fixes on the Way

Stardew Valley's substantial 1.6 update, released for PC in March, introduced a wealth of new content, including expanded NPC dialogue with personalized gift reactions, the Meadowlands Farm, and new festivals and events. Visual enhancements such as waterfalls, holiday decorations, and seasonal map variations were also included.

Despite resolving many issues, update 1.6 inadvertently introduced new problems. Its November rollout to consoles and mobile platforms quickly revealed several bugs, including critical game-breaking ones. 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 response to player concerns. Although the Switch patch addressing the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues isn't yet available, players can be confident it's actively under development and will be released shortly.
