"I'll admit, I was expecting a much bigger mess. While I haven't played New Horizons in ages - the villagers tell me it's been 11 months, though it feels much longer - my kids have jumped into the island periodically during that time. And, just like in real life, they're slobs in Animal Crossing. Yet our island appears mostly intact."
"There were a few items strewn about, and a shockingly small number of weeds, but not much else to complain about. Mostly, without me to do the gardening, the entire island is now one gigantic field of flowers. It's beautiful and not at all what I was anticipating. Even more shocking: Both of their houses were tidy. Now if only I could get them to do that in real life. - Andrew Webster"
Nintendo announced a Switch 2 upgrade and a free 3.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, reversing the 2021 statement that the 2.0 update would be the game's last. Many players had largely stopped playing and accepted support had ended. Players revisited their islands ahead of the update and found varying conditions after long absences. One island showed few weeds, scattered items, and had become a vast field of flowers, with tidy houses despite infrequent play. Another return revealed areas that reflected past design choices alongside spots that no longer made sense.
