When you boot Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there should be an update that brings the game to version 1.9.0. Otherwise, you can activate the update manually by going to the icon settings.
While patch notes aren’t live yet, Nintendo has already made a detailed list of what to expect from this update:
- 1st birthday cake – Nook Inc. has a 1st Birthday cake to commemorate the occasion. It will be sent to your in-game mailbox after the update is installed.
- Sanrio Sweetness – Add some Sanrio sweetness to your island. Starting March 26, the Animal Crossing Sanrio Collaboration Pack will be available at Target stores in the US at a suggested retail price of $ 5.99. You can use these six vividly designed amiibo cards to invite cute and colorful Animal Crossing residents inspired by popular Sanrio characters on your island, including Rita, Chai and Toby. These amiibo cards allow you to trade in-game bubbles for special Sanrio-themed furniture and fashion items. You can even invite these characters to Harv’s Island for a fun photo session at Photopia.
- Custom Design Pro Editor + – The Custom Design app on your NookPhone is getting an upgrade! Use your Nook Miles at the Nook Stop in Resident Services to unlock the feature. It offers a more robust set of functions, allowing you to customize umbrellas, small flags, uchiwa and photo stands. And with a new 50 slot expansion added to both Normal Custom Design mode and Pro Custom Design mode, you can really let your imagination run wild!
- Custom design portal – You can now add the Custom Design Portal in the Able Sisters store directly to your in-game NookPhone app. You can always use it when inspiration strikes.
- Seasonal items – Spring is in the air and with the change of seasons comes a range of new seasonal items! Just in time for April Fool’s Day, a variety of colors of whoopee pillows can be ordered from the in-game Nook Shopping service between March 26 and April 1. If you want something a little more elegant, get ready for prom season from April 1 to April 30 with themed fashion items at the Able Sisters store. You can also order prom-themed items from Nook Shopping during this period, such as an evening wall. , prom night floors and a prom stash. Never miss an opportunity to dance!
