Nintendo released an update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons last week to combat bugs and glitches. The update didn't add any new content to the game. However, it fixed a bug that didn't allow players to renovate the vacation homes of villagers while the airport gates were open.

Nintendo rolled out update 2.0.2. The update fixed glitches related to the main game and Animal Crossing's first paid DLC, Happy Home Paradise.

Some fixes include issues with Kapp'n's boat tours, problems with scanning multiple amiibo cards and more.

As with every update, Animal Crossing update 2.0 also came with its fair share of issues. However, it's safe to say that Nintendo remains committed to Animal Crossing patrons, as evidenced by two consecutive patch fixes that were rolled out in the last 14 days.

Nintendo has already announced that update 2.0 will be Animal Crossing: New Horizons' last major free update. So players should make the most of it while they can.
