If you boot Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there must be an update waiting for you that brings the game up to version 1.9.0. Otherwise, you can activate the update manually by accessing the icon settings.
Although the patch notes are not yet active, Nintendo has already provided a detailed list of what to expect from this update:
- 1st birthday cake – Nook Inc. made a 1st Birthday cake to celebrate the occasion. It will be sent to your 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 for purchase at Target stores in the United States for a suggested retail price of $ 5.99. You can use these six vibrantly designed amiibo cards to invite cute and colorful Cross between animals residents inspired by popular Sanrio characters on their island, including Rita, Chai and Toby. These amiibo cards allow you to exchange bells for furniture and fashion items with the special Sanrio theme in the game as well. You can even invite these characters to Harv’s Island for a fun photo shoot at Photopia.
- Custom Design Pro Editor + – Your NookPhone’s Custom Design app is being updated! Use your Nook miles at the Nook Stop in Resident Services to unlock the feature. It will offer a more robust set of features, allowing the customization of umbrellas, flags, uchiwa and photo frames. And with a new expansion of 50 slots added to Normal Custom Design and Pro Custom Design mode, you can really let your imagination run wild!
- Custom Design Portal – You can now add the Custom Design Portal found in the Able Sisters store directly to the game’s NookPhone app. You can use it whenever inspiration strikes.
- Seasonal items – Spring is in the air and with the changing of the seasons comes a range of new seasonal items! Just in time for April Fool’s Day, a variety of whoopee pillow colors can be ordered between March 26th and April 1st at the Nook game shopping service. For something a little more elegant, you can prepare for the graduation season with themed fashion items at the Able Sisters store from April 1st to 30th. You can also order graduation-themed items at Nook Shopping during this time, such as a prom night wall, prom night floor and prom stock Never miss a chance to dance!
