Animal Crossing: New Horizons has received a new 3.0.2 update, and alongside it, a special free goodie for players to enjoy. The Animal Crossing: New Horizons freebie arrives in honor of the series' 25th anniversary.
Animal Crossing got its start in Japan way back in 2001, though gamers outside of Japan wouldn't begin meeting the franchise until 2002. Animal Crossing has had a strong fandom and playerbase since its inception in Japan, though it's taken a bit longer to gain a major foothold in the west. Its time as a cult classic arguably ended with the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, when, for a time, it seemed like the whole world was playing the game as gamers and non-gamers alike found themselves stuck at home due to COVID restrictions. After the release of the Switch 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons got new changes, and now it's received another update.
The big new Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 update is here alongside a Switch 2 version, but fans may be wondering if it's worth the price.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons players on both the original Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2 can now download the game's 3.0.2 update....
