Winter Burrow “Tidy Up” update announced, patch notes

Noodlecake and Pine Creek Games have announced a new “Tidy Up” update for Winter Burrow. The team hasn’t clarified if it’s live on Nintendo Switch yet, but if you don’t see it, the patch should be going out soon.

There’s a good amount to the update here. Players can switch between Story Mode and Challenge Mode, bring in three save slots for different “definitely organized” lives, recycle junk into something useful, and zip around faster with secret mole tunnels.

Here’s the full rundown:

Winter Burrow Tidy Up update patch notes

• Separate Burrow Storages: Each storage item you craft will now represent its own storage space. Now you can sort your stuff into whatever system you like using different chests or wardrobes. This also means that the infinite Burrow Storage is now a limited storage space.
• Increased Backpack Inventory Space: We heard you! 😉 The base amount inventory in the backpack has been increased with 4 slots, hopefully saving you from some trips back and forth.
• Furniture Gives Benefits: Don’t underestimate the benefits of a nice and comfortable home. Furnishing your burrow will now increase your maximum stats giving you an added benefit. Different types of furniture affects different stats. The better quality the furniture has, the higher the stat bonus increase.
• More Furnishing Options: Furniture rotates in four directions, so now you can finally see what your wardrobe looks like from behind! But not only that, you can now decorate your burrow with an increased level of possibilities. We’ve also added Layered Furnishing, so you can finally place a rug under your favourite dinner table.
• Play Modes: You can now play the game in two different modes. Story Mode is for if you just want to relax and enjoy the story, and Challenge Mode is for when you want the game to pose an even harder challenge. You can swap between them while playing.
• Extra Save Slots: With 3 save slots you can now run several game sessions at the same time, allowing your close ones to embark on their own winter adventure without messing around in your extremely well decorated burrow.
• Recycle items: We’ve added recycling! A way to dispose of unneeded items, and (if you are lucky) there will even be some materials left that you can use for another purpose.
• Fast travel: If you want to get home quick, then see if you can find one of the secret mole tunnels to use as a shortcut.
• Sleeping Animation: Curl up for some mousy dreams with subtle signs of rest and recovery as this cozy new sleeping animation unfolds around you.
