Disney Dreamlight Valley, update 3, is coming to the consoles on February 16, 2023, and we have compiled a list of changes the game will introduce. According to Gameoft’s official release, the game will introduce significant changes as this will be the game’s third major update. Gameloft has named this as the Festival of Friendship update. It should introduce players to two new friendly characters.
At the same time, the game plans to provide a new Star Path as a perk as it celebrates its 100TH Anniversary this month. While Gameloft has not announced the official date to release this update, Nintendo has updated the release to February 16, 2023. Without further ado, let’s have a look at the patch notes for the upcoming Disney Dreamlight Valley update 3.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Update 3 Patch Notes

- There will be a release of a new Star Path.
Details on the Disney Dreamlight Valley Update 3 Patches
New characters
- Mirabel (Encanto)
- Olaf (Frozen)
- It’s not yet clear how these two will be unlocked.
- Although we know that Mirabel’s quest will require finding the doorknob to Casita. Whether this unlocks a new Realm or simply somewhere in town that already exists is unknown.
Maybe it's just us, but it seems like… one of these snowmen is not like the others… ☃️ pic.twitter.com/WQdlUrounz

New houses
- Mirabel’s Casita
- We know Casita is a big part of this update, and that’ll be where Mirabel lives.
- Some fans are even starting to speculate that Bruno will be in there somewhere, too… but we don’t talk about that!
- If Olaf’s getting his own house, it’ll most likely be something to do with the new content in the Frosted Heights… or he’ll just be bunking with Elsa for the time being.
“Discover the Secrets of the Frosted Heights Biome”
- As announced in the roadmap, the Frosted Heights biome will be the next biome to get a makeover after the Scar’s Kingdom update; let us revitalize the Sunlit Plateau.
- Looking at the key art for the update, it looks like we’ll be getting to fix the Pillar within the Frosted Heights and access some secret area that’s blocked off behind giant stone doors. And are those footprints?
New Disney 100th Anniversary Star Path
- We already knew that the Star Path for February would be themed around Disney’s 100th Anniversary, but we’ll have a full Star Path breakdown soon! Until then, here’s what we know will be included:
- 100th Anniversary rabbit companion
- 100th Anniversary outfit for Mickey
- 100th Anniversary outfit for Minnie
- We would also guess that those black-and-white ears the character is wearing in the key art are part of the Star Path, as those don’t already exist in the game.
House exterior customization
- You can now change the appearance of your house on the outside. Although it’s not clear how much
- so far, we’ve only seen a handful of color changes, no change to the general appearance and layout of the exterior.
A new year is on the horizon… and with it, new features and content for #DisneyDreamlightValley! Achieved in our Community Wishlist Challenge, here's a sneak peek at some of the house skins that will be arriving in our 3rd update!✨ pic.twitter.com/NrVz3kKzY6

Improvements, item tweaks, and miscellaneous changes
- We don’t have specifics, but since Disney Dreamlight Valley is an early-access game, each major update comes with a slew of bug fixes, tweaks, changes, and additions that improve the quality of the game.
- Judging by the Trello page, which tracks the bug fixes and changes made already, we may be getting some quest fixes. Here are all the things marked as appearing in the next update:
- Fix to Ursula’s “Lair Sweet Lair” quest
- Fix for issues that caused avatars to cook and water crops at different rates
- The male avatar no longer looks off-camera in Photo Mode
- Improved item limit display for Furniture Edit Mode
- The storage system is finally getting an overhaul!
- Again, no exact specifics of what that means other than “expanded storage management” and general quality-of-life improvements, but we’ll take it.
