Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 Rolls Out With Resort Hotel, Slumber Islands and Switch 2 Upgrade

The patch introduces a hotel-decorating loop, Slumber Islands, quality-of-life tools, plus an optional Switch 2 upgrade path.

Overview

  • Version 3.0.0 is live with official patch notes confirming craft-from-storage, batch crafting up to 10, expanded storage, and new L-button tile-by-tile movement with a small hop.
  • The pier-side Resort Hotel appears after unlocking Kapp’n via a 3-star island and a K.K. Slider concert, with room-decorating tasks awarding Hotel Tickets for a souvenir shop that includes exclusive items such as classic Nintendo consoles.
  • Slumber Islands function as separate creative sandboxes that require Nintendo Switch Online for collaborative play, with players reporting that former residents can also appear there.
  • Resetti returns offering a Reset Service to clear selected areas or the entire island for 60,000 bells per use, with the first day of use free.
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and a $4.99 upgrade for existing owners are available, adding 4K docked visuals, mouse-like Joy-Con 2 controls, an in-game megaphone, CameraPlay, and online sessions for up to 12 players.
