Gameloft has revealed patch notes for Disney Dreamlight Valley’s new DreamSnaps Update, detailing everything players can expect to change when the update goes live this Wednesday, July 19. Major changes include multiplayer photography challenges, a new character, and a wide variety of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
Perhaps the biggest part of the update is the titular DreamSnaps mechanic, which will task players with taking photos and entering weekly challenges to earn Moonstones, furniture, and cosmetic items. Exactly how the challenges will play out are yet to be seen, but it marks the first type of multiplayer functionality in the game and should give us a hint as to how Gameloft intends to leverage its online features in the future.
For those who aren’t feeling as creative, the addition of Vanellope may be the most exciting element of the update. This popular Wreck-It Ralph character is speeding into the valley with her own house and a set of quests that are sure to reward plenty of cool new items.
In addition, hovering is having its energy cost reduced by a whopping 80%, which should make moving around the valley much quicker and easier. Scrooge’s shop will also see a minor change that makes duplicate items less frequent, hopefully solving some of the issues many fans have cited about seeing the same items cycle through each week.
To see everything changing in Dreamlight Valley this week, check out the official patch notes below. And, as always, stay tuned for our usual comprehensive guide coverage.
– Flex your creativity and compete in weekly, community-wide photo challenges with DreamSnaps! Each week, earn a variety of prizes for participating, including Moonstones, furniture, and clothing items!
*** Please note: Touch of Magic Clothing and Furniture are not compatible with DreamSnaps and cannot be included in submissions in order to keep the feature a fun environment for all players.
– Vanellope loads into the Valley, bringing with her some sweet new Friendship Quests and items to earn!
– Keep up with Vanellope with more efficient hovering. The energy drain when hovering has been reduced by ~80%, giving you more bang for your energy buck!
– The video capture feature built into the Nintendo Switch hardware has been disabled, helping reduce the frequency of crash rates. The dev team is continuing to closely monitor this topic as they consider further changes to improve performance.
*** Please note: Video capture via capture card and screenshot capture on Switch are unaffected and will continue to function as expected.
– General stability has been improved on Nintendo Switch. We continue to explore further means of optimization for future updates.
– The inventory of Scrooge McDuck’s Store has received a slight rebalance to reduce the chance of duplicates appearing. This is a small, preliminary tweak as we investigate this topic further and look into changes that could be made for future updates.
