WHERE TO PLAY

DIGITAL

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.

Show off your island utopia to family and friends—or pack your bags and visit theirs. Whether playing online** or with others beside you***, island living is even better when you can share it. Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming animal residents bursting with personality. Friendly faces like Tom Nook and Isabelle will lend their services and happily help you grow your budding community. Escape to your island getaway—however, whenever, and wherever you want.

The Next Animal Crossing Could Work Wonders With a New Switch 2 Feature
Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Nintendo hasn’t announced a new Animal Crossing yet, but let’s be honest—it’s only a matter of time. With the Switch 2 on the horizon, it’s practically guaranteed that the next entry in the series will end up on Nintendo’s new hardware. And while the more powerful tech will bring obvious benefits like better visuals and faster load times, it’s actually one of the Switch 2’s new social features that could be a real game-changer. That feature is GameChat, a built-in voice chat system exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Unlike the awkward voice chat options on the original Switch, GameChat is baked directly into the console and is meant to provide a smoother, more integrated multiplayer experience. For a franchise like Animal Crossing—where social interaction is the whole point—that could make a huge difference.
