Overview
- The 3.0 patch is available now on both Switch generations, with the optional Switch 2 Edition upgrade priced at $5.
- Reviewers say the Switch 2 version looks crisper—up to 4K when docked and 1080p handheld—with reduced pop-in and much shorter load times.
- The Switch 2 Edition adds mouse input for pattern drawing and interior decorating plus optional mic callouts for villagers, though 12-player online play is unstable.
- Version 3.0 debuts Kapp'n's Hotel for themed room designs that earn ticket rewards and introduces Slumber Islands for freeform building on separate spaces.
- Quality-of-life updates include crafting directly from storage with batch options, expanded home storage, an outdoor design grid, Mr. Resetti cleanup, and collectible retro consoles that run a small Nintendo Switch Online–gated selection.
