Information

What is Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch?

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a charming life simulation game developed by Nintendo exclusively for the Nintendo Switch console. In this peaceful and immersive adventure, you start your new life on a deserted island and slowly turn it into your personal paradise. You’ll build and decorate your home, gather resources, meet friendly animal villagers, take on simple jobs, and grow your island community day by day. The game runs in real-time, so time of day and weather in the game change on a regular basis. That means morning sunshine, rainy afternoons, and snowy nights all become part of your island life. You decide how to live, explore, and shape your surroundings, making each player’s experience truly unique.
Want to visit friends or invite them to your island? An active Nintendo Online subscription is required for multiplayer features. You can find both Animal Crossing and Nintendo Online subscriptions here at Gamecardsdirect, the one-stop gift card shop.

The Switch 2 version

With the release of the Switch 2, several popular Switch games have been upgraded to the new console, for better performance and additional features. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of those games, and is now available natively on Switch 2. This new version can boast the following upgrades:

Higher resolution graphics - Up to 4K
Mouse controls - players can use the mouse functionality of the Joy-Con 2 to easily redecorate their house and perform other actions with fine motion control
Megaphone - This new item uses the Switch 2 microphone to let you call your island friends by name, even when they are away from you
More players - The Switch 2 version of the game supports up to 8 players via local wireless, and up to 12 online
Audio and video chat - Players are now able to talk with their friends using GameChat. And if they have an optional camera, they can even broadcast their face.

Can I upgrade my game to Switch 2?

The new features are interesting, but if you already have the game for Switch you will not want to buy it again for Switch 2 at full price. Worry not, because a very inexpensive upgrade is available. For just a few euros, this DLC will upgrade your Switch version of Animal Crossing: New Horizons to the Switch 2 version, with all the extra features. It goes without saying that you will need a Switch 2 to play the upgraded version.
