If you enjoy lifestyle sims like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and are looking for something else to play, now is a great time to revisit Team17’s Hokko Life. A new post on the publisher’s official website reveals the Nintendo Switch version of the game has just been updated.

Hokko Life made its debut on Nintendo’s hybrid system back in September, and has now been updated with some performance fixes (such as improving FPS drops) and resolved some pesky bugs.

“We’ve been working on the issues surrounding save game storage getting full and improving the messaging around them. We have also laid the ground work for the next update, which will be coming soon, where players will be able to manage their created items and control their save space usage. This functionality is still in the works, but we wanted to get this performance patch out ASAP to fix a lot of other pesky bugs!”
