The Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 update was released a day earlier than expected. This will give Animal Crossing players enough time to get comfortable with it. Players are primarily excited about significant additions like Brewster, Gyroids, Harv's Island expansion, and the paid DLC. But tons of more minor features also reshape the game.

Nook Miles, one of the currencies in Animal Crossing, now has several new achievements for players to unlock more Nook Miles. It can be spent on various items and pay for activities like traveling with the newly returned Kapp'n.
