The capacity for players on one online island session has been increased to 12. Just beware: With New Horizons’ online set-up the way it is, you’re going to be doing a lot of stopping and going, waiting for players to load into your island on arrival or load out on leaving. And then there’s a chance of the session crashing outright. Still, the multiplayer upgrade is there if, for some reason, you want to try to get 12 players into one place. If you’re playing online with your friends, you can interact with them better on Nintendo Switch 2. The Switch 2 version features GameChat and CameraPlay, so if you have a webcam, you can interact via your facial camera, as well being able to chat in real-time with your friends via the system mic or your own setup. That covers the entirety of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Switch 2 features. Be sure to stay tuned to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons topic for more guides and updates.
