In 2021, Nintendo told Animal Crossing: New Horizons players that the 2.0 update was the last major content addition they were ever going to get. Thankfully, this turned out to be untrue, as there are two new updates headed for the game early next year.

The 3.0 update is free for all players, and the Switch 2 upgrade will retail $4.99 for players who already own the original game.
