It's a new year and Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone has already rolled out a new patch for the Switch version of Stardew Valley.
This new update does only appear to be a small one, but it's an important fix - addressing multiple bugs that were popping up for players on Nintendo's hybrid device. Here's the full rundown:
"The patch for Switch was released last night. It fixes the raccoon shop bug, divorce crash, rain randomization, and a few other things. Because of the randomization fix, there may be some one-time-only "retroactive" changes to things like raccoon requests or item appearance."
Barone has also acknowledged a few other concerns like an "issue with giving gifts to Villagers", which the team is apparently "looking into":
This update follows the big 1.6 update in November last year, which added multiple new festivals, a brand new farm layout, new mastery system, the ability to have multiple pets, a Lost Items Shop and much more.
That's it for now, but looking ahead, it seems ConcernedApe is still hard at work on his new game Haunted Chocolatier. Just keep in mind it could still be a while away.
Be sure to also check out our Stardew Valley review if you haven't already, we gave this title an "excellent" nine out of ten stars:
"Stardew Valley offers its players a chance to live a second life – one where you can forget the troubles of the real world and get excited over finding a particularly rare carrot. It is a truly magical experience; games can often be enjoyable but they don’t all manage to be as captivating as this."

Glad to hear all those bugs are fixed by this latest patch so I won't encounter them when I finally play Stardew Valley properly on Switch and of course for those already playing it, too!
Surely one of the greatest games of all time. Been playing it on and off ever since it was released and love it more than ever. If there was ever a case for retrospectively re-rating a game, this is it - 10 out of 10 all the way.
Easy mode for befriending people should be the default for our universe
When did we agree to the hardcore mode
My cousin will be very happy! Still a hardcore player after all these years. And here I am still waiting for the Atelier Valley spinoff.
I just want my wife, Abigail, to stop disappearing on me. I'm convincing myself she's in the caves doing her own adventures, but dangit, if she is, I wanna see, just like on rainy days! XD
I really need to get back into this game. It's fun to pick up and play for a bit at a time.
Awesome!
I play in French and a lot of apostrophes are appearing as [], hope that's gone.
Very happy about the rain fix! Played through 2 years and only got rain on the scripted days. Excited to dive back in.
Gotta love ConcernedApe for putting so much care into his game. When you see an artist so passionate about their project and so committed to it, it makes you wanna see what it's all about, even if it's not a genre or style you'd normally gravitate toward.
