Overview
- Version 3.0 is live with friction-cutting tools, including an L-button strafe/grid align, Resetti’s rapid area cleanup that sends items to storage, plant storage, and a raised storage cap to 9,000 items.
- New creative spaces debut with a pier-side hotel run by Kapp’n’s family for room decorating and visiting tourists, plus Slumber Islands that let players build up to three separate dream islands.
- The $4.99 Switch 2 Edition increases resolution and shortens loads while noticeably reducing lag on densely decorated islands, though performance remains locked to 30fps.
- Switch 2 adds a microphone-based megaphone to call villagers and Joy-Con mouse controls for design work, with reviewers finding the new inputs uneven in practical use.
- Multiplayer capacity is reported to rise from eight to 12 with GameChat adding integrated camera feeds, and new themed items are available with amiibo support.
