Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 3.0 Patch Notes Revealed

At long last, the patch notes for Update 3.0 for Animal Crossing: New Horizons have been revealed by Nintendo. Earlier today, the eagerly anticipated update for the latest Animal Crossing game went live, which happened to come about a full day earlier than anticipated. While this move excited fans, many others were waiting to see what the patch notes for the update would have in store, as they would provide the full scope of what this new content drop brought with it. Now, those patch notes have become available.

For the most part, there aren’t any new surprises in this new Animal Crossing: New Horizons update. The majority of the patch is tied to the new content that Nintendo had previously announced, which is centered around a new hotel location, new islands, and the addition of new accessories and items. Other than this, there have been some minor quality-of-life tweaks made to gameplay which longtime New Horizons fans should appreciate the most.

To get a look at the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 3.0 patch notes for yourself, you can find them attached below.
