Deltarune Chapter 5 finally launched on Switch 1 & 2 late last month, and Toby Fox & co. have been tweaking it ever since.
The ver. 0.0.241 patch arrived on the Nintendo hybrid systems shortly after launch, and the dev has another update in store, too — though it’ll take a little longer to come our way.
The ver. 0.0.247 update released on Steam and PlayStation today, with Fox reassuring us all on Bluesky that it has already been submitted to the eShop and will “be released as soon as it has been approved”. The patch fixes a couple of issues with Chapter 5, and introduces some new dialogue in the Cliffs’ shop “in an extremely obscure circumstance”.
The full patch notes were shared on Bluesky, and we have gathered them together for you to check out below:

We updated our review for Deltarune on Chapter 5’s release, saying “while it’s a bit underwhelming as a standalone chapter, there’s still plenty to love about this new addition”.
