Fantasy Life i's New Update Is Finally Live On Switch 1 & 2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Remember last month when Level-5 said that it would be adding a Photo Mode to Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time in a July update? That patch got hit with a last-minute delay, but today, it has been released in all its glory.

The ver. 1.5.0 update is now live on Switch and Switch 2, adding the long-awaited Photo Mode, tweaks to mount performance, new objects, camera adjustments, the option to remove players from multiplayer sessions and much more. There's a bunch of bug fixes on top of all that too, natch.

All in all, it has shaped up to be a pretty beefy one. The full patch notes were shared on the Fantasy Life i website, and we have gathered together all of the Switch-relevant info for you to check out below.
