The open-world farming adventure Stranded Sails has received a major “Exploration Update”. The patch, which includes new features, changes, and bug fixes, is live on Switch.

As far as what’s new, fast travel ‘portal stones’ have been added which allow you to travel around the world with ease, Quality of life improvements include the ability to craft and cook multiple items at once, improved introduction and tutorial quests, and a new ability to row faster across the world.

The full patch notes are as follows:

When Nintendo announced the delay for Animal Crossing: New Horizons last year, it probably couldn’t have anticipated the massive impact that move would end up having. The game couldn’t have launched at a better time as it’s taken off in light of the global pandemic we’ve all been facing over the past few months, leading to massive sales and causing a buzz on social media. Many players have also been connecting with friends and family online in ways that normally wouldn’t be possible right now.

Over on Twitter today, Nintendo staffer Rob Heiret – who worked on the localization – spoke about the comfort and positivity that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has provided. He also commented on that sea bass joke you’ve probably seen if you’ve given the game a shot.

Below are Heiret’s full words:
