Nintendo Surprises Animal Crossing Fans By Dropping New Horizons 3.0 Update a Day Early

On January 14th, players started noticing that the 3.0 update for Animal Crossing was available. My game didn’t update automatically, but I was able to download it through the game’s settings menu. Once installed, I could immediately start playing the updated Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, the Switch 2 version is still expected to launch on January 15th. As of now, it’s still listed as a pre-order in the Nintendo eShop, meaning Switch 2 players might have to wait until then to enjoy the new features and mouse controls.
