Summary
- ConcernedApe is addressing the Nintendo Switch version of Stardew Valley's divorce crash and raccoon shop glitches.
- A Nintendo Switch patch resolving these issues is forthcoming.

Stardew Valley developer, ConcernedApe, has announced via social media that a Nintendo Switch patch addressing the game-breaking divorce crash and raccoon shop bugs will be released soon. While these issues have been resolved across PC, mobile, and other console versions, the Switch update remains in development.
Since its 2016 release, Stardew Valley has seen numerous updates and improvements. Its charming pixel art, relaxing gameplay, and consistent updates from ConcernedApe have maintained its popularity. A recent update addressed persistent issues, and the final piece of that puzzle—the Switch patch—is nearing completion.
ConcernedApe confirmed on Twitter that the patch fixing the divorce crash and raccoon shop problems is "still coming," though no specific release date has been given. The developer assures players it will be released as soon as possible. These issues, among others, emerged following the launch of update 1.6 and have already been addressed on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. An initial announcement regarding the Switch patch's development was made around Christmas, and it now appears close to release.
Stardew Valley Switch Patch Addressing Divorce Crash and Raccoon Shop: Coming Soon
Stardew Valley's extensive update 1.6, released on PC in March, introduced a wealth of new content, including personalized NPC gift reactions, the Meadowlands Farm, and new festivals and events. Visual enhancements, such as waterfalls, holiday decorations, and seasonal world map variations, were also included.
However, subsequent patches unintentionally introduced new problems. While update 1.6 reached console and mobile in November, players quickly encountered several issues, including game-breaking bugs. A swift emergency patch addressed mobile issues on November 15th, while fixes for other platforms continued.
The Stardew Valley community has praised ConcernedApe's open communication and responsiveness. Although the Switch patch addressing the divorce crash and raccoon shop problems isn't yet available, players can expect its release shortly.
