The upgraded game will arrive on January 15th, 2026, offering 4K visuals on TV, mouse controls, and an in-game megaphone that uses the Switch 2's built-in microphone.

Additionally, Animal Crossing: New Horizons will also offer support for online gameplay with up to 12 other Switch 2 players, as well as the ability to use a webcam."
