Current Version:
Ver. 1.4.0 (Released July 30, 2020)

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is regularly updated with new content and special events. Unlike previous games, most events do not exist in the game's data until they are added through an update. These events are not available to experience in the game until the first real-world date on which it occurs, therefore time traveling cannot be exploited until the update has been installed. An online date verification is required to experience the event for the first time, at which point they will reoccur offline indefinitely.

Online multiplayer can only be participated in if the most recent update is installed. The version number is displayed on the title screen and when talking to Orville about multiplayer functions.

    • As a result of this change, all outdoor stereos will be switched off when the update is installed.
  • Widespread adjustment of bug spawn rates:
    • All bugs now have the same chance to spawn in each month in which they are set to appear.

  • Names of several items have been changed:
  • Explorer Tee → [[Item:Explorer Shirt ({{{2}}})|Explorer Shirt]]

1.1.4
April 6, 2020[1]
  • Fixed an issue where Flick send the incorrect bug model when given three Scarab Beetles.
  • Adjusted the appearance rate of some Bunny Day eggs through April 11, with eggs being easier to find on Bunny Day itself (April 12).
1.1.3
April 3, 2020[1]
  • Addressed an issue where balloons would no longer fly over the island under certain circumstances.
1.1.2
April 2, 2020[1]
  • Fixed an issue where an villager that is invited to move from another island doesn’t actually move, leaving the plot of land allocated for them to move to sold and unoccupied.
    • After the software is updated to Ver. 1.1.2, the sold plot of land will revert to being available, and a new animal will become able to move there again.
Note: The villager that was originally invited to move to the player's island when the issue occurred will not return to their original island, nor will their plan to move to the player's island be carried out.
  • Fixed an issue where a request from Tom Nook for the Resident Representative to find a plot of land for new residents disappears.
    • After the software is updated to Ver. 1.1.2, if the island is developed to a certain point (Nook's Cranny is either under construction or completed), the next time the Resident Representative plays the game, a special event will trigger during the island-wide broadcast and the story will move forward.
  • Fixed an issue where, after deleting a resident, it becomes impossible to move their house and/or other structures.
    • After the software is updated to Ver. 1.1.2, it will once more become possible to request that these structures be moved.
  • Fixed an issue where both Nook Miles and Bells are subtracted when an item is purchased from Wilbur on a Mystery Island Tour.
  • Other issues are now resolved.
