Vanellope makes a sweet entrance to Disney Dreamlight Valley this week

With the imminent arrival of Disney Dreamlight Valley's DreamSnaps update, developer Gameloft has shared its full patch notes.

From tomorrow, 19th July, players can expect to see Wreck-It Ralph's own Vanellope racing into the valley. She will bring some new Friendship Quests with her, along with new items for players to earn.

In addition to Vanellope's sweeter than candy arrival, players will also be able to try their hand at DreamSnaps. This is essentially the game's first multiplayer feature, and will see players taking part in weekly photo challenges with fellow members of the Disney Dreamlight community.

There will be prizes for participating in these challenges, with Gameloft promising the likes of "Moonstones, furniture, and clothing items" to add to your burgeoning kingdom.

Meanwhile, the developer has been making improvements across the game, including rebalancing the inventory of Scrooge McDuck's Store. This should reduce the chances of duplicate items appearing. "This is a small, preliminary tweak as we investigate this topic further and look into changes that could be made for future updates," Gameloft explained.

As for those playing on Nintendo Switch, Gameloft has improved the game's general stability on the platform, and disabled the built in video capture feature. This, it said, will help reduce crash rates, with the development team continuing to monitor the situation for future improvements.

Along with the above, there will also be a variety of bug fixes and general quality of life improvements implemented with this update.
