New ways to play
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons uses the unique features of the console to offer even more ways to enjoy your island paradise!
Your island, clearer than ever
With the enhanced 4K resolution of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, you’ll be able to see your island and its residents even clearer than before!
Get creative with mouse controls
Use the intuitive mouse controls of the Joy-Con 2 controller to redecorate your home, organise your furniture, create Custom Designs and even draw posts for the bulletin board.
New item: Megaphone
Purchase the Megaphone from Nook's Cranny, then use it to find your island friends by calling out their names. The built-in microphone of Nintendo Switch 2 will help find where they are, even if they’re far away from you!
Play with more friends at once!
In the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, up to 12 players can play together on one island online or up to eight players via local wireless play.
