Stardew Valley's Latest Switch Patch Is Here And It Fixes All Those Pesky Crashes

The unexpected crashes and text glitches introduced to the Nintendo Switch version of Stardew Valleyin the latest update have finally been squashed just days after they first appeared. Celebrating the game's ninth anniversary, creator ConcernedApe surprised Nintendo users by dropping the 1.6.15.1 Patch for the Switch. While it didn't add any new content to the game, it did fix several lingering issues that have long troubled players while also introducing a handful of additional problems that resulted in some frustrating bugs.

Fortunately, those glitches should no longer be a problem as ConcernedApe took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that he's released another patch for Stardew Valley on Switch. This update is a simple hotfix that eliminates the text bugs and game crashes that have plagued players for the last week, allowing them to once again crack open those precious Artifact Troves. The timely announcement was well-received by players, many of whom thanked the creator for releasing the patch so quickly.

Stardew Valley Just Cannot Be Stopped

ConcernedApe Deserves A Good Holiday

ConcernedApe has earned himself a reputation for being one of the most popular and loved game developers in the industry in no small part due to his commitment to the Stardew Valleycommunity. With the game being over nine years old, the fact that he's still releasing substantial updates for the farming RPG is a testament to how much he loves it. His passion hasn't gone unnoticed as fans often praise his efforts, even with such a small development team behind him.

As for what lies ahead for Stardew Valley, only ConcernedApe knows what the future holds. Players are hoping that the creator releases a 1.7 Update that adds even more content to the game but the developer has yet to provide any insight into whether or not this is his plan. ConcernedApe is also currently working on a different game, Haunted Chocolatier, but aside from a few screenshots, very little is known about this project at the time of writing.

It's Good To Have It Running Properly Again

Stardew Valley feels like a game that was made to be enjoyed on the Nintendo Switch so being able to play it again without worrying about crashes is a treat. I'm always impressed by how quickly ConcernedApe responds to issues with his game; the fact that the player base had to wait only five days for a fix is impressive. I hold out hope that we'll eventually get a 1.7 Update but if we don't, I'm still satisfied with the game as it currently exists.
