''<noinclude>[[</noinclude>Animal Crossing: New Horizons<noinclude>]]</noinclude>'' is regularly updated with new content and special [[event]]s. 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 travel]]ing 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.
+
From its release in March 2020 to November 2021, ''<noinclude>[[</noinclude>Animal Crossing: New Horizons<noinclude>]]</noinclude>'' received twelve free content updates and one [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise|paid DLC expansion]]. The free updates included content such as new events, gameplay elements, characters, and items. Each update was released at 10 AM {{Wp|Japan Standard Time|JST}} (1 AM {{Wp|Coordinated Universal Time|UTC}}), causing them to be released the night before their scheduled release date in some regions, such as the Americas. The {{HHP|short|nolink}} expansion, however, was unlocked at 12 AM local time in all regions.
  
 
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.
