Secret Neighbor just released its latest update on Switch dubbed “Winter”.
As far as new content goes, players can access new skins. It also includes QOL improvements, rebalancing, reworked systems, new quests, brawl rotation, and more.
Here’s the full rundown:
Secret Neighbor Winter Update Patch Notes
Let it snow!
- Is it really Christmas if everything we see isn’t blanketed in a carpet of snow? Well, yes snow is actually very uncommon in some parts of the world. But not in Secret Neighbor! Snow’s back, and with it you can once again wrap up warm, gather your friends, build some snowmen with them and then pelt them with snowballs, because what else are friends for?
New Brawl Mode: BooYah Wars!
- Get your hooks ready folks, as the fan favourite brawl mode came home for Christmas! Separated by a chasm filled with lava, players must “booyah!” their way to victory by hooking their opponents and reeling them onto their side of the map. Obviously, you can also go the griefing route and just spend the game dropping your opponents in the river of magma that divides you, but you don’t get any points for that (and won’t win any friends that way either…) After 5 rounds, the team with the most rounds won, wins the game!
Some festive stocking fillers:
- Guest, Hunter, Ghost, Clown, Butcher and Quentin all have new skins, accessories and Christmas themed outfits for any unexpected holiday get-togethers! Even The Guest is getting into the Christmas spirit this year, with a new Santa themed skin! Not sure you’d be too thrilled seeing him come crawling out of your chimney however…
New Daily Quests:
- Quentin, The Hunter and Inventor are going to be especially busy this Christmas, with a bunch of new daily quests to complete!
Balance changes
- The Taxidermist’s toy gun now holds 4 bullets, reloads slowly and has a 5-second default cooldown
- Brave can break windows and traps with a baseball bat
- Bagger now has 150HP
- Scout’s fully charged shot will slow down instead of dealing a stun
- Reduced max damage dealt by item throw to 35
- Increased damage buff from milk by 33%
- Added slight cooldown to catching after transforming into the Neighbor

Wardrobe changes
- Items will no longer spawn in the wardrobes, and players can hide by pressing and holding the “Interact” button.
Inventor talent changes
