Here’s What Animal Crossing: New Horizons Needs For a Fun-Filled Second Year

More Ways To Play With Friends Online

Honestly, for as much as there is to do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the multiplayer aspect is pretty disappointing. Not only does it take a painfully long time to load and get a friend onto your island, but there’s also not a whole lot to do once you’re connected.

This is especially disappointing after remembering how much there was to do with friends in New Leaf. There were even island tour mini-games that you could play together, such as balloon popping, to earn medals.

In those first few months of New Horizons, I connected with my friends online several times to check out each other’s islands and trade items. But now that we’ve already visited and own most of the items we want, there’s not much of a point to connecting anymore.

It would be fantastic to get an update at some point this year that adds more ways to play with friends online, such as the addition of mini-games or multiplayer events. This would give me a reason to get back online in the game to play with my friends again.
