Disney Dreamlight Valley gets consistent updates filled with new content, characters, and quests. To not miss anything, it is important to know how to update the game regardless of your platform of choice.
Some updates have brought new Realms to the valley, such as the “Missions in Uncharted Space” update that brought a Toy Story Realm featuring Bonnie’s room to the game alongside the film’s two main characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear, or the “Pride of the Valley” update that introduced a The Lion King Realm with Simba and Nala.
Generally, updating Disney Dreamlight Valley is a fairly easy process that should begin automatically regardless of the platform that you are playing on. But if that’s not the case, you’ll need to manually trigger updates.

What causes Disney Dreamlight Valley updates to get stuck?
If you follow all steps correctly for your platform but still don’t see an update when you know one has been released, there are a few possible reasons. One might be that the platform itself is not up to date, meaning players should proceed to update it.
Another top reason that players struggle to locate new updates is that they do not have a solid internet connection. If you are struggling to get the latest update to appear but believe that it should be available, test out your internet and see if doing so fixes the problem.
The last possible reason is entirely out of players’ hands—the platform provider might not have made the latest Disney Dreamlight Valley update officially live yet. Gameloft has mentioned with each update that they always release it at the exact time they announce, but that it might take a bit more time for each platform to officially roll it out themselves.
In rare cases, new updates could also encounter delays during roll out in certain regions, but these setbacks tend to be short and you should be able to download the latest Disney Dreamlight Valley update just like the rest of the world shortly.
