The game's soothing and engaging mechanics have kept it popular and relevant. ConcernedApe has consistently updated the game, not only adding new content but also tackling bugs and issues reported by the community. A significant update in December aimed to resolve a persistent problem, and this patch is now close to being released on the Switch.
ConcernedApe used Twitter to update fans, stating that the patch for the divorce crash and raccoon shop issues is "still coming."

Stardew Valley Switch Patch Fixing Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop Coming Soon
Stardew Valley's major update 1.6, released for PC in March, introduced a wealth of new content, including personalized NPC dialogues, the Meadowlands Farm, and new festivals and events. The update also enhanced visuals with additions like waterfalls, holiday decorations, and seasonal world map variations.
Despite resolving many gameplay issues, update 1.6 inadvertently introduced new problems.
