After the long-awaited rollout of Stardew Valley earlier this month on the Switch, the game's creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone has now released a new patch bumping the game up to Version 1.6.9.37.
According to the creator, this new update for Nintendo's hybrid system allows you to "put hats back on pets now". It also fixes the "bomb crash, disappearing chickens, and more". This follows our story last week about how players were removing pet hats to combat performance issues in the game.
Barone has also noted in this latest update on social media how there will be "further patches" to Stardew Valley on consoles to "fix additional bugs" and eventually "get it in sync" with where the PC version is currently at.
In case you missed the big 1.6 update for Stardew Valley it delivers multiple new festivals, a brand new farm layout, a new "mastery" system, the ability to have multiple pets and also adds a new Lost Items Shop. There's much more as well, which you can learn about on the official changelog.
In some other news, we were also lucky enough to talk to the legend himself at PAX West recently. If you haven't already seen our amazing feature by our video producer Felix Sanchez, it's well worth reading (and watching).

Started a brand new farm with the update and have been falling in love with this game all over again.
Frame rate fixed when daytime turns to evening time?
Game is playable again. Can’t possibly live without my fedora kitty. Anyway, time to install the update and finally get addicted all over again
It’s been getting daily patches on mobile. So it’s nice to see the Switch is joining in with the patching fun.
Love to hear it, looking forward to properly playing Stardew Valley myself when I can!
1.6.9.42.0 before long then, as the prophecy foretold.
The time progression and calendar are the things that keep me from enjoying this game!
Same with all the other farming sim type games!
A real world calendar with real time progression and better implementation of the life/exhaustion meter and I'd be in!
@iNintendo
I've started a new farm too and I'm enjoying it more then ever this time around. Such a joyful game!
December 7, 2024: Still stuck with 1.6.9.37. Still no fix. We're playing split screen CoOp. Constant crashed, lost days, frequent lags, enemies freezing in the mines, and bomb issue (our pets are hatless). Game is virtually unplayable, and it's very frustrating when the game crashes at the end of the day just before the day is saved, causing the entire day to be lost. Used to be the only game we played and recommended. Now neither is true. Very sad.
